C. L. Max Nikias(@MaxNikias_):I had the privilege of presenting key themes from my book, “American Trojan: Leadership, Resilience, and the Renewal of Higher Education,” at the Sun Valley Policy Forum 2026 Summer Institute. The discussion addressed resilience as a foundation of leadership, the immigrant covenant of hard work, gratitude and giving back to America, and the imperative for renewal in American higher education. It was an honor to participate in a session moderated by Christina Culver, Chief Executive Officer of the Sun Valley Policy Forum. Among the distinguished presenters was General David Petraeus, who has generously endorsed the book.
