Former President Jimmy Carter will reflect on his years in the White House and sign copies of his new book, “White House Diary,” on Sept. 29 at Lisner Auditorium.

The program, presented by the Smithsonian Residents Associates, is open to the public. Tickets are $35 and may be purchased online, by phone or at the Smithsonian ticket window.

During his presidency, Carter wrote daily diary entries, offering an inside look at his four years in the Oval Office, complete with assessments of his colleagues and details of secret negotiations. The diary entries have been compiled into a book that will be released on Sept. 20, according to Amazon.

President Carter joins a list of high-profile political speakers at GW in the past year, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, first lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, former Vice President Al Gore and former first lady Laura Bush.

In 2007, Carter spoke at GW as part of a tour of colleges, and students here were the first group able to ask unscreened questions of the former president.
