Soledad O'Brien
Thursday, 27 Oct 2005 at 7:30 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Soledad O'Brien, the fall Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics Mary Louise Smith Scholar, anchors CNN's American Morning with Miles O'Brien. She was among a handful of CNN anchors sent to Puhket, Thailand, to cover the disaster and aftermath of the tsunami that took more than 155,000 lives. In the fall of 2003, O'Brien was the only broadcast journalist permitted to travel with first lady Laura Bush on her trip to Moscow. She came to CNN from NBC News where she had anchored the network's Weekend Today since July 1999.Cosponsored By:
