Former President George H.W. Bush will welcome Condoleezza Rice to the Texas A&M University Campus as part of a daylong event on Nov. 9 marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Rice, who served as secretary of state under the administration of George W. Bush, will speak as part of the Lenore and Francis Humphrys International Speakers Program. The Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs is sponsoring the event.
"[Rice] will be speaking on her experiences as she was serving under George Bush's administration," said Assistant Director of the Scowcroft Institute Griffin Rozell. "With her expertise in international affairs, she'll be talking about what the fall of the Berlin Wall means for the world as we move forward."
Before being appointed as secretary of state in 2005, Rice served as the national security advisor during George W. Bush's first term as president.
Rice and Bush will speak at 5:30 p.m. at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. Free tickets are available for the event and can be picked up at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, the Bryan-College Station Eagle, the Bryan-College Station Convention and Vistors Bureau, KBTX, and WTAW.
