The Echo

From the UDaily:

Former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell will give a public lecture on the University of Delaware's Newark campus on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Powell served as the first African-American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and was appointed Secretary of State by President George W. Bush, becoming, at that time, the most powerful African-American ever to hold office.

A four-star general, Powell's numerous awards include two Presidential Medals of Freedom. He is the author of the best-selling autobiography, My American Journey.

UD Speaks is dedicated to bringing world-class leaders to the Delaware campus to educate, enlighten and engage the University community.

The event will begin at 8:30 p.m. at the Bob Carpenter Center. The speech will be followed by a question and answer session.
Tickets will go on sale at UD box offices at the Trabant University Center and at the Bob Carpenter Center, and via Ticketmaster, on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Prices are $5 for students, $10 for faculty and staff, $15 for military personnel (active duty and retired) and $25 for the public. All seating is general admission.'
