Osher's Summer Lecture Series explores the changes that must take place to enable China and the United States to conduct themselves in a manner that will ensure mutually beneficial competition and avoid conflict? We'll address these questions by inviting recognized experts and officials from the United States, China, and Canada to examine the conflicts and suggest a way forward.

USN RADM Mike Studeman assumed command of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and became Director of the National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office (NMIO) in August 2022. He is also a principal advisor to the Director of National Intelligence as National Intelligence Manager–Maritime. Just prior to his current appointment, RADM Studeman served as the Director of Intelligence (J2) at U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Honolulu (2019-22) and the Director of Intelligence (J2) at U.S. Southern Command, Miami (2017-19). He previously commanded the Joint Intelligence Operations Center, U.S. Cyber Command, Fort Meade, Maryland, and Hopper Information Services Center, Suitland, Maryland. He had also served as the first Director of Pacific Command’s China Red Team at the Joint Intelligence Operations Center, Hawaii and the first Senior Intelligence Officer for China at the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Earlier in his career, RADM Studeman was Special Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations and Director of the Strategic Actions Group; Special Assistant to the Vice Chief of Naval Operations; Director of Navy Unmanned Airborne Systems; Director of Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance concepts; and strategic issues lead for the Navy’s Quadrennial Defense Review Team. In 2005, he received a presidential appointment as a White House Fellow, serving as Assistant to the Chief of Intelligence of the Department of Homeland Security.

RADM Mike Studeman is the son of a career naval officer and a 1988 graduate of the College of William and Mary. He is a distinguished graduate of the Naval Postgraduate School, a distinguished graduate of the National War College, and an honors graduate in Mandarin Chinese from the Defense Language Institute.
