Lectures & Readings

Each year, Princeton's campus attracts hundreds of speakers who lecture on timely issues, discuss their experiences and read from their creative works. In one recent year, these visitors included U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, actress Glenn Close, poet Seamus Heaney, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, choreographer Mark Morris, CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Katie Couric, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson and writers Breyten Breytenbach and Colm Toibin.
