WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University’s Fall 2014 Presidential Lecture Series continues on Oct. 27 with a talk by NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

Her talk, “A View from Washington,” begins at 6:30 p.m. in Loeb Playhouse and is free and open to the public.

Liasson’s reports can be heard regularly on NPR's award-winning newsmagazines All Things Considered and Morning Edition. She provides extensive coverage of politics and policy from Washington, D.C. - focusing on the White House and Congress - and also reports on political trends beyond the Beltway.

Purdue’s Presidential Lecture Series features prominent experts and practitioners from various fields of interest for both academics and the community at-large. Speakers will touch on topics relating to policy, leadership, culture and society.

Connected with each public presentation, speakers will be integrated into relevant curricular activities on the West Lafayette campus during their visits. The series will also add speakers at various points during the year.
