What would Dwight D. (“Ike”) Eisenhower, the nation’s 34th president, say about the world today? The annual Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture Series continues in 2026 with a look at current events through the lens of a U.S. and world leader during World War II. Susan Eisenhower, author of the nationally and internationally acclaimed book “How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower’s Biggest Decisions,” looks at key examples of lessons in leadership and strategy from Eisenhower’s military and presidential period. In this speech, she will examine the skills in strategic thinking required to address questions of short-term urgency with the vision to perceive long-term consequences. She will underscore the need for leadership with a blend of head and heart — two qualities that were the hallmark of Eisenhower’s style both in his professional and personal relationships. Following the lecture, a lively Q&A session will allow audience members to ask their own questions. Tickets are limited.
