The program has these informal talks every week or so. Today Col. Michael E. Hess (retired) will talk about the stresses of life on a peace keeping mission. Mike, as everyone calls him here, has served and led some of the most important peacekeeping operations in the past 20 years including the operation in Kosovo. Many of the students are taking his class about peacekeeping.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-347\" style=\"width: 528px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-347\" src=\"http:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSF5412-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Louis Sell, center, speaks to students in the garden at RIT-K during an informal seminar.
