Trinity University’s Distinguished Lecture Series will feature radio journalist Nina Totenberg, who will speak on “The Supreme Court and its Impact on You” in a conversation format with Trinity University President Danny Anderson. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m., at Trinity’s Laurie Auditorium.
Totenberg is the award-winning legal affairs correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR). Her reports air regularly on NPR’s All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Weekend Edition. She was also a regular panelist on Inside Washington, a weekly syndicated public affairs television program, which aired until 2013.
Totenberg’s coverage of legal affairs and the Supreme Court have won her widespread recognition. In 1991, her groundbreaking report about University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas led the Senate Judiciary Committee to re-open Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings to consider Hill’s charges. NPR received the prestigious Peabody Award for its gavel-to-gavel coverage, which was anchored by Totenberg. She is also the only radio journalist to win the National Press Foundation award for Broadcaster of the Year.
The lecture is free and open to the public, and no reservations or tickets are required. Seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis.
The Distinguished Lecture Series is made possible by the Walter F. Brown Family of San Antonio. For more information visit Trinity’s events calendar.
If you can’t attend in person, the program will be streaming live on the Tiger Network at live.trinity.edu.
