D. Calvin Andrus of the Office of Public Affairs for the Central Intelligence Agency will discuss “Career Reflections: Intelligence” at a Brigham Young University David M. Kennedy Center lecture Thursday, Sept. 29, at 4 p.m. in 238 Herald R. Clark Building.

Over a 28-year career, Andrus has served as a regional political analyst, an IT program manager, an enterprise applications architect and an innovation officer.
