AUBURN —The Central Maine Community College Veterans Club will hold a forum on U.S. foreign policy at 7 p.m. Monday, March 27, in Jalbert Hall, Room J15.

With a new administration in the White House, major changes in the way the U.S. deals with allies and adversaries are likely. Since veterans have been in the forefront of current and past conflicts and have been called upon to implement U.S. policies abroad, often in hazardous situations, their observations and insights will be welcome.

A panel of two CMCC faculty members, one of whom is a Vietnam veteran, an Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran, and a CMCC student who served in Afghanistan will share brief statements, then solicit input from the audience. The panel includes Chris Beam, Tyler C. Frazer, Jared Golden and Karl Trautman.

Beam is an adjunct instructor in history at CMCC and adviser to the Veterans Club. A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, he served a tour in Vietnam in 1968-1969. He has taught numerous courses on the Vietnam War at CMCC and other institutions. He has worked as an archivist at Bates College and at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where he worked on the Nixon White House tapes.

Frazer is in his last semester at CMCC and plans to pursue a medical assisting degree. He has been an active drilling member of the Army National Guard since 2007 and served overseas with Operation Enduring Freedom from August 2013 to July 2014 with the 133rd Engineer Battalion.

Golden is a Marine Corps veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A graduate of Bates College, he has worked in logistics in the Middle East and on the U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee. He currently represents Lewiston in the Maine House of Representatives.

Trautman is an instructor of political science at CMCC. His latest book is “The Underdog in American Politics: The Democratic Party and Liberal Values.” He has been a newspaper columnist, policy analyst for the Michigan State Senate and a research assistant for Meet the Press.

The public is invited to attend the free event.
