The University of West Florida will host former U.S. ambassador Sichan Siv at 6 p.m. Oct. 10 in the Communication Arts Lecture Hall, Building 36, Room 191.

Siv holds a Master of International Affairs degree from Columbia University. He escaped Cambodia's killing fields in 1976 and was resettled as a refugee in Wallingford, Conn.

Siv will give a brief lecture followed by a book signing of his new book, "Golden Bones," which recounts his American dream. The event is free and open to the public.

Siv was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2001 and unanimously confirmed by the Senate as a United States ambassador to the United Nations, serving until 2006.

From 1989 to 1993, during the administration of President George H.W. Bush, Siv served as deputy assistant to the president for public liaison and as deputy assistant secretary of state for South Asia. In the private sector, he has held positions in social services, educational exchange, financial management and investment banking. Currently, he provides global strategic advice and gives motivational speeches around the U.S. and the world.
