Free Lecture Tonight by Nicholas Kristof

Nicholas Kristof, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and journalist, will present his unique perspective of our global community in his lecture “The World As I See It” on Tuesday, Sept. 2 in Memorial Hall at 7 p.m. Kristof's experience comes from having lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to 140 countries. His op-ed columns in The New York Times address topics ranging from the war in Iraq to the sexual enslavement and trafficking of young women in the Far East. He and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, also a noted journalist, won the Pulitzer in 1990 for their coverage of China’s Tienanmen Square democracy movement. Kristof received his second Pulitzer in 2006 for his graphic, deeply reported columns on the genocide in Darfur. He and WuDunn are the authors of two books and are completing a book about women in the developing world.
