PDCA's June 2 First Monday Forum will focus on our Awards Program and the recipients of the 2025 Awards for Excellence in Public Diplomacy. 

The awards are being presented to:

• The Northstar team in the State Department’s Office of Global Public Affairs, for the design, development, and deployment of the Northstar AI-powered global media analytics tool.
• The U.S.-Saudi Higher Education Partnerships Forum, developed by the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, which markedly enhanced U.S.-Saudi education and research partnerships, positively impacted bilateral relations and helped support American colleges and universities. 

Representatives of the two award winners will highlight the activities and respond to questions from the audience.

The program will be available only on-line. The First Monday Forum is sponsored by PDCA, the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, and the GWU Institute for Public Diplomacy & Global Communication and will take place at noon on June 2. Click here to register.
