April 28, 2013 – Former President Bill Clinton (SFS'68) will return to Georgetown on Wednesday to deliver the second in a series of talks exploring the people, events, lessons and principles that have shaped his career in public service.
The topic of the April 30 talk, part of The Clinton Lectures at Georgetown, will be on "policies" and takes place from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the university's historic Gaston Hall.
The 42nd president of the United States said during his last talk at Georgetown in April of 2013 that young people interested in public service should focus on four areas – "people, purpose, policies and politics."
"In a free society if you want democracy to work, people have to be able to hear each other and whether someone can hear you depends in part on what you say," Clinton said at his talk about "people" last year. "But even more on how you say it and whether first you have listened to them."
This is the second time Clinton has given a series of talks at Georgetown.
In 1991, as the governor of Arkansas and a Democratic candidate for president, he presented three "New Covenant" speeches to students on Responsibility and Rebuilding the American Community, Economic Change and American Security.
"This is an historic day on our campus," Georgetown President John J. DeGioia said last year. "We celebrate the inaugural lecture in a series that we believe will have a deep and meaningful impact not just within our university community but throughout the academy and the world of policy, politics and global affairs.
The talk will be webcast live.
