The three-time Pulitzer Prize winner is known for his perceptive accounts of war and leadership and for his deep historical insights into conflicts from the American Revolution and World War II.

Join Atkinson and President Mitch Daniels for a Presidential Lecture Series event on Sept. 16, “America @ 250: Celebrating Freedom’s Giant Leap.” They’ll discuss the importance of America’s 250th anniversary and the role Purdue can play as a leading land-grant institution.

This event has been moved to the larger Loeb Playhouse in Stewart Center from Fowler Hall because of strong interest. Tickets for the Fowler Hall venue will still be honored at Loeb, so there is no need to reregister.

The event is free and open to the public, but a ticket is required. Find more details and reserve your seat: https://purdue.university/4gjPlOa.
