Gingrich to speak on campus today

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, is visiting campus today. Gingrich is the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics’ first Distinguished Visiting Fellow.

The visit will include two public events.

Today at 12 p.m. at the Adams Alumni Center, Gingrich will be at one of the Dole Institute’s “Pizza and Politics” events. It is open to all students and faculty who would like to eat free pizza while listening to the former speaker of the House talk about today’s political scene.

Tonight at 7:30 p.m. Gingrich will be speaking at the Dole Institute in West Campus. This event is open to anyone in the community. Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, said the former speaker would be talking about the Republican party’s place in America today as an “alternative party” rather than an opposition party.

“He is clearly one of the brightest political thinkers on the Republican side today,” Lacy said, “and we’re really excited to be bringing him to the Dole Institute.”

Lacy also said he anticipates space running short and recommends showing up early to guarantee a place.
