Time, venue set for Condoleezza Rice Ubben Lecture
DePauw University recently announced the final details for an Ubben Lecture given by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
The lecture will be held in Kresge Auditorium in the Green Center for the Performing Arts, and is set to begin at 7:30 p.m.
The event is free of admission and is open to all. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis, and no tickets will be distributed.
From January 2005 through 2009, Rice served as the 66th Secretary of State -- only the second woman and the first African-American woman to hold the post. Rice also served as President George W. Bush’s National Security Advisor from January 2001 through 2005, the first woman to do so.
Previous to that, Rice served on President George H.W. Bush’s National Security Council staff from 1989 through March 1991, and was also senior director of Soviet and Eastern Europe Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she also served as special assistant to the director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Rice has appeared four times on Time’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people, one of only nine individuals in the world to have made the list this frequently.
Rice is currently the Denning Professor in Global Business and the Economy at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business and the Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution. She is also a professor of political science at Stanford.
Established in 1986 through the support of 1958 DePauw graduates Timothy and Sharon Ubben, the Ubben Lecture Series was designed to “bring the world to Greencastle.” The series has hosted 113 speakers over the past 32 years.
