In May, Elsa Johnson, a student journalist at Stanford University, published an article in The Stanford Review revealing a “widespread intelligence-gathering campaign at Stanford” conducted by elements connected to the Chinese Communist Party. Stanford is not alone in this; foreign actors are trying to exert influence on college campuses around the country.

From participating in or supporting pro-Hamas riots on campus to attempting to steal intellectual property, efforts to infiltrate colleges and universities can be found across the United States. Join Heritage to hear Johnson’s story firsthand and to hear expert solutions for Americans who want to protect higher education from being threatened by hostile elements.

Advance registration is required for entry. Large bags or backpacks will not be permitted. Please be prepared to show valid ID and bags upon arrival.

This invitation is nontransferable.
