The lecture “Poland–U.S. Cooperation: Security, Defense, and the War in Ukraine” will explore the vital partnership between Poland and the United States in addressing today’s most pressing security challenges. It will highlight joint defense initiatives, the strategic role of NATO, and the ways both countries are working together to support Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. The discussion will also emphasize the broader geopolitical significance of Polish-American cooperation in ensuring stability in Europe and strengthening transatlantic ties.

He was a lecturer at the Institute of European Studies at the Jagiellonian University. Dr. Klich has authored numerous publications on foreign policy and international security. In the late 1970s and 1980s, he was active in the democratic opposition movement.
The Lady Blanka Rosenstiel Endowed Program in Polish Heritage is made possible by a generous gift to the University of Miami from The American Institute of Polish Culture, established by Lady Blanka in 1972. The gift, made in 2021, is intended to support program events and activities designed to celebrate Polish people and Polish culture. The Program is aligned with Rosenstiel's commitment to educating audiences about the rich history of Poland and the substantial scientific, scholarly, and artistic contributions made by those of Polish descent. The Center for the Humanities is pleased and honored to lead efforts in coordinating the Program at the University of Miami, in partnership with the College of Arts & Sciences and The American Institute of Polish Culture.
