Students will have a chance to meet Emmy Award-winning journalist Norah O’Donnell when she makes her way to Wichita State on March 21.
O’Donnell’s visit is part of the Craig W. Barton Speaker Series, an annual event meant to expose students to different points of view and encourage critical thinking and conversation.
O’Donnell is the anchor and managing editor for the CBS Evening News. She also anchors the CBS Election Specials and is a “60 Minutes” contributing correspondent.
With nearly 30 years of journalism experience, O’Donnell has won two Emmys, covered six presidential elections and interviewed every living president of the United States.
O’Donnell is currently the only woman anchoring a major evening news broadcast. Previously, she was an anchor on the CBS Morning News for seven years.
Students will have a chance to meet O’Donnell at 3 p.m. on March 21 in a Q&A event in the Herrman Room at the Rhatigan Student Center. Capacity is limited, and students are asked to register in advance.
She will speak at 6 p.m. on the same day in Miller Concert Hall in Duerksen Fine Arts Center. Tickets are sold out for the evening event.
