About the Mary S. Stern Lecture Series

About Nicholas Kristof

How good do you really have to be, to be christened the reporter’s reporter…by other reporters? You have to be Nicholas Kristof–good.

He’s lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to more than 150 countries. During his travels, he has caught malaria, experienced wars, confronted warlords, encountered an Indonesian mob carrying heads on pikes, and survived an African airplane crash. Kristof not only managed to survive and press on, he also won two Pulitzers in the process – advocating human rights and giving a voice to the voiceless.

Ask Nicholas Kristof a Question Ahead of the Lecture

At the end of the lecture, Kristof will sit down with Eva Jean Romaine Coombe Library Director Paula Brehm-Heeger for a brief Q&A session. They want to hear from the audience!
