Members of the LBJ School community had an opportunity this past year to meet and share ideas with a variety of public officials, program administrators, political scholars, and other policy specialists. The talks ranged from evening lectures to more intimate chats and receptions that featured international scholars; well-known national, state, and local figures; business leaders; and representatives of the news media. This photo exhibit features some of our visitors from the 1997-1998 academic year.
