Dan Senor at Penn

Dan Senor, a former foreign policy adviser for the Bush administration, adjunct fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and current Fox news analyst recently published a book called Start Up Nation. The book analyzes the entrepreneurial economy of Israel and explores the cultures that supports it.
On Feb 17th, we will bring him to Penn. Senor will offer an entirely new perspective on Israel that will expand beyond the traditional audience and appeal to students interested in business, economics, and entrepreneurship.
