Condoleezza Rice to speak at UNT April 16
From staff reports
Condoleezza Rice, Stanford University professor of political science and 66th U.S. Secretary of State, will speak April 16 as part of the University of North Texas Distinguished Lecture Series.
Rice will speak at 8 p.m. April 16 in the UNT Coliseum, located at 600 Avenue D, at the southeast corner of North Texas Boulevard and Highland Street. The event includes remarks from Rice as well as a Q&A session.
Student leaders participate in private Q&A sessions with distinguished Lecture Series guests each year. The program introduces the UNT community to the excellence of world-class speakers whose messages enhance student learning outside the classroom. Previous speakers include President George W. Bush, Robert M. Gates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., John Legend, Bill Nye, Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, Suze Orman and Vicente Fox.
From 1989 through March 1991, Rice served on President George H.W. Bush's National Security Council staff. She served as director; senior director of Soviet and East European Affairs; and special assistant to the president for national security affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, Rice also served as special assistant to the director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
As a professor of political science, Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors - the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching.
Born in Birmingham, Ala., Rice earned her bachelor's degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver; her master's from the University of Notre Dame and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
The Distinguished Lecture Series is sponsored by UNT's Division of Student Affairs. This year's program is a collaboration among several UNT departments.
