@MSU Billings, Library Room 148 Come join us this free event open to public and a rare opportunity to engage with a current U.S. Ambassador, Gautam Rana. As the sitting ambassador to Slovakia, Ambassador Rana is a first-hand participant and creator of US foreign policy at this critical juncture as the Russian invasion of Ukraine rages on and Central Europe continues to search for its place in the new Europe. Gautam Rana has served as the Ambassador of the United States of America to the Slovak Republic since 2022. He is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service and has represented the U.S. as a diplomat since 2002. MSUB has been continually engaged with Slovakia for the past 20 years as part of a larger Billings – Bratislava cultural connection.
