Speakers and Events

What would you say about a speaker series that has included Barack Obama, Colin Powell, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Maya Angelou, David McCullough, Elie Wiesel, Robert Duvall, Val Kilmer, Coretta Scott King, and Margaret Thatcher, just to name a few? And Principia College students didn’t just get to hear these people speak from a distance. With most speakers, there are opportunities to interact. Robert Duvall taught an acting class when he was here, and Barack Obama met with a group of students the night he spoke on campus. You never know who’s going to stop by.
