Cokie Roberts brings a practiced political eye and keen perspective to the issues currently facing lawmakers in her lecture “An Insider’s View of Washington, D.C. with Cokie Roberts.”
Roberts is senior news analyst for National Public Radio and a political analyst for ABC News. She co-anchored the weekly ABC interview program This Week from 1996 to 2002. Roberts has won numerous awards, including three Emmys, in her more than 40 years in broadcasting. She has been inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame, and was cited by the American Women in Radio and Television as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting. The Library of Congress this year named her a “Living Legend.”
“Our Voices and Visions series has been a popular success on campus and in the surrounding community because of its strong, visionary speakers,” said SXU President Christine M. Wiseman, J.D. “In that tradition, we are very pleased to welcome Cokie Roberts to Saint Xavier.”
