The Institute notes with great regret the passing of Ambassador Lawrence G. Rossin, who died on Saturday, October 6th after a battle with multiple myeloma. Larry’s career included senior positions at the National Security Council, U.S. State Department, United Nations, Save Darfur Coalition, and NATO. He spent several months at USIP earlier this year as senior adviser to the Academy for International Conflict Management and Peacebuilding. He contributed greatly to the Academy through his wise counsel, broad experience and extensive contacts, and we will long remember him, especially the warmth of his personality, his strong interest in all things big and small, and his terrific sense of humor.
