This week two very distinguished women are visiting the CU- Boulder campus. Tonight, former U.S. Secretary of State and UN ambassador, Madeline Albright, will be speaking at the Coors Events Center. When Albright was appointed President Clinton's Secretary of State in 1997, she was the first woman to serve in the position. She also, at the time, was the highest-ranking woman ever in the U.S. government. Albright will be discussing the role of the U.S. on the international stage today.
Doors open at 6:30pm and Albright's speech will begin at 7:30pm.
Also, tomorrow April 17, former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor will be speaking on campus. O'Connor was the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice O'Connor was well-known during her tenure because she was often the swing vote in many profound cases that went before the Supreme Court. Not only is she speaking on campus tomorrow but she is also being presented with the Stegner Award. This award, given by CU's Center of the American West, represents achievements that westerners have accomplished in their professional lives.
The event starts at 7pm in Macky Auditorium tomorrow.
Tickets for these events can be purchased at the UMC Connection for students. And tickets for the general public can be purchased at ticketswest.com
