Rice Draws Crowd of Over 1,000 at PSU Speech

 

More than 1,000 interested visitors made their way down to Pittsburg State University last week to take part in a "fireside chat" with former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. 

 

Rice was the third speaker in the H. Lee Scott Speaker Series, created in 2015 as the result of a $2.079 million gift made by PSU alum and former Walmart CEO Lee Scott and his wife, Linda. Former President Bill Clinton came to campus in 2015, Mitt Romney came to campus in 2017.  

 

Rice discussed a wide variety of topics, including her childhood, her stances on intercollegiate athletics and the impeachment proceedings. She also talked about her recently published book.

 

The mission of the H. Lee Scott Speaker Series is to deepen the level of discourse, enrich the university experience, and elevate the university’s reputation by examining American life from the perspective of nationally prominent leaders and innovators.
