School of Media and Public Affairs Director Frank Sesno will interview former Vice President of the United States Walter Mondale on Sept. 23.
This event is the first installment of Sesno’s 2009 Public Affairs Project Conversation Series. Sesno said he is currently working to schedule several other major guests in media, politics and public affairs.
“Walter Mondale has had an extraordinary life as an elected official. We will talk about what he has seen in America, what has changed, how the Obama administration is doing, and what he sees as major challenges confronting us in 2009,” Sesno said.
The event will include the Washington premiere screening of the new documentary about Mondale’s life, “Fritz: The Walter Mondale Story.”
Admission for the event will be free. Additional ticketing information will be released when classes start for the semester.
