Clinton School students today participated in a live webcast of the first in a series of lectures delivered by President Clinton at Georgetown University.
The former president is lecturing at the university about the people and events that shaped his life and career in public service. Clinton School students watched the lecture via webcast and submitted questions online during the Q&A. Here’s more details from Georgetown:
APRIL 30, 2013 – Former President Bill Clinton (F’68) today gave the first in a series of lectures AT GEORGETOWN that explore the people, events, lessons and guiding principles that have shaped his career in public service.
The lectures examine the framework for a lifetime spent championing an idea espoused by his Georgetown professor Carroll Quigley: that America is the greatest nation in history because our people have always believed in two things – that tomorrow can be better than today and that every one of us has a personal, moral responsibility to make it so.
This four-lecture series will take place over a number of years. The lectures will be webcast live.
This is the second time Clinton has given a series of talks at Georgetown. In 1991, as the governor of Arkansas and Democratic candidate for president, he presented three “New Covenant” speeches to students on Responsibility and Rebuilding the American Community, Economic Change and American Security. These speeches, like the new lecture series, took place in Georgetown’s historic Gaston Hall.
