Former Trump administration official Michael Pompeo will speak in DeBartolo Hall on the Friday afternoon before fall break.
The University said in a news release Wednesday that Pompeo, who served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency and then secretary of state under former President Donald Trump, will deliver a lecture on religious liberty, courage and the necessity of leadership Oct. 13.
Tickets to the event are now available to members of the tri-campus community with valid identification cards at the LaFortune Box Office, and the talk will be livestreamed on YouTube.
Pompeo’s visit is sponsored by the International Security Center and the Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government.
“This lecture and opportunity for posing questions with secretary Pompeo offers the Notre Dame community an exceptional occasion to learn from an individual who has addressed major issues in some of the most demanding roles in government service,” said Vincent Phillip Muñoz, director of the Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government.
Pompeo graduated first in his class from West Point in 1986 and became a cavalry officer, patrolling the Iron Curtain before the fall of the Berlin Wall. He was elected to four terms as a U.S. representative from Kansas prior to joining the Trump administration.
