Bristol, R.I. -
No stranger to controversy, Lou Dobbs, anchor for CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” will visit Roger Williams University as part of its Civil Discourse lecture series on Thursday to share his insights on the most topical issues affecting our country today.
Dobbs was originally scheduled to speak at the University in September 2007, but rescheduled his visit due to a tonsillectomy.
“Civil Discourse is designed to bring to campus as many points of view as possible,” said University President Roy J. Nirschel. “Recent speakers run the gamut from Salman Rushdie to Gary Bauer, David Gergen to Bob Geldof. Whether they agree with him or not, Lou Dobbs will certainly energize our students.”
Dobbs will speak at 5:30 p.m. in the university’s recreation center gymnasium on the Bristol Campus at One Old Ferry Road. The event is free and open to the public.
TOPICS: Lou Bobbs, economy, immigration, politics, business and investing
During his presentation, Dobbs will discuss a wide range of topics such as the economy, immigration, politics, business and investing.
Dobbs, a self-proclaimed “independent populist,” anchors “The Lou Dobbs Financial Report,” a nationally syndicated financial news radio broadcast and writes columns for Money magazine and U.S. News & World Report.
The award-winning journalist has received a George Foster Peabody Award for his coverage of the 1987 stock market crash and earned a Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in economics in 1967.
