Beginning in 2007, The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College will launch an annual Ronald Reagan Lecture to be held each year around Feb. 6, the anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth.
The Reagan Lecture aims to bring to light Ronald Reagan’s contributions to America and to history. Each year, the Center will host an individual who worked for, knew or has produced important work on the 40th President. The inaugural lecturer is Michael Reagan, adopted son of Ronald Reagan, who will visit campus on Feb 22, 2007.
Michael Reagan is heard daily by 5 million listeners via his nationally syndicated talk radio program, “The Michael Reagan Show,” airing on 200 stations and at www.radioamerica.com. He serves on the board for The John Douglas French Alzheimer’s Foundation and has authored many books, including his best-selling autobiography “On the Outside Looking In,” as well as “The Common Sense of An Uncommon Man: The Wit, Wisdom and Eternal Optimism of Ronald Reagan” and “Twice Adopted.” Reagan lives with his wife and two children in California.
Some future lectures may be conventional addresses while others will implement a Q&A format with a moderator. The lectures will be geared toward Grove City College students, scholars, thinkers and community members.
