Former Sen. Tom Daschle to Visit Campus, Deliver Public Lecture Sept. 21
September 14, 2007
OXFORD, Miss. - Former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) is
scheduled to deliver a free, public lecture Sept. 21 at the
University of Mississippi. U.S. Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.)
invited Daschle to visit the Oxford campus, sponsored by
UM's Trent Lott Leadership Institute.
Daschle's lecture, "A Conversation With Leaders," is set
for 2 p.m. in Nutt Auditorium of Scruggs Hall. The address
offers lessons from the two senators' shared experience as
senate leaders and centers around how congressional leaders
can work productively in a bipartisan fashion.
Both leaders also plan to visit with Lott Scholars and
students studying public policy leadership and journalism.
"Sen. Lott and Tom Daschle worked closely together for 10
years as congressional leaders," said Bill Gottshall,
executive director of the Lott Institute. "They both will
discuss their bipartisan partnership and how their lessons
can be applied to today's Congress."
From June 1995 to January 2005, the two senators served
together either as majority or minority leaders of the U.S.
Senate.
Following the tragedy of the terrorist attacks on Sept.11,
2001, the leaders worked together to help rebuild New York
City and the Pentagon. They also focused on helping the
nation's economy recover and passing legislation to defend
against terrorism.
