Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to President George W. Bush, will speak at St. Olaf College Thursday, Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) in Skoglund Center Auditorium. The presentation, which is free and open to the public and will include a 30-minute question-and-answer session, is sponsored by the student-run Political Awareness Committee with support from the Young America’s Foundation. The speech will be streamed live online.
Rove’s talk, “America’s Challenges: Policy, the Presidency, and Congress,” will present his views about how the new administration and Congress are affecting the American political landscape. Rove, who has served as a political strategist for Republican candidates across the nation, currently contributes regularly to Fox News, Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek.
Past PAC-sponsored speakers at St. Olaf include activist Jesse Jackson, former U.S. Senator Bob Dole, Hotel Rwanda hero Paul Rusesabagina, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile.
