Two former United States Cabinet secretaries, Condoleezza Rice and Henry M. Paulson Jr., will speak with University of Chicago community members in an International House event at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 14.
The event is one in a series organized by the Paulson Institute, an independent entity located at UChicago. Paulson is also a distinguished senior fellow at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and former U.S. Treasury secretary. He will be joined by Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State and author of the forthcoming book, No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington, which was released Nov. 1.
Admission to the talk, titled “A Conversation with Condoleezza Rice,” will be free and open to UChicago students, faculty and staff. Doors to Assembly Hall will open at 6 p.m. Attendees must bring a valid University ID for entry. The University also will stream a live webcast of the event, including display on the “UChicago Live” tab at the UChicago Facebook page.
“Condi brings a fascinating perspective as an accomplished academic leader who also provided strong leadership to our nation during a period of formidable international policy challenges, intense debate and transition,” said Paulson, who served alongside Rice in the Bush administration. “I am delighted to join her for what promises to be a stimulating discussion with the University of Chicago community about her experiences at the highest levels of government decision-making.”
Paulson has over forty years of experience in public policy and economic issues, including as chief executive of Goldman Sachs and culminating in his tenure as Treasury secretary from 2006-09.
