Join us for a reception before the Rudolf G. Schade Lecture on History, Ethics and Law, Leadership Through the Ages: America at 250 featuring Michael Beschloss. One of the nation’s foremost presidential historians, Michael Beschloss brings unmatched insight to the story of America’s leadership over 250 years, exploring the triumphs, failures and defining moments that have steered the nation through crisis and change. As the country marks this milestone anniversary, Beschloss offers a compelling reflection on where we’ve been—and what the past can teach us about the road ahead.
Drinks and heavy appetizers will be served.
Complimentary admission and reserved seating at the lecture will be available for President’s Circle members registered for the Schade Lecture Reception.
