FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH WILL ROUND OUT DANIELS’ FINAL PRESIDENTIAL LECTURE SERIES EVENT. HOW YOU CAN GET TICKETS

For the final installment of the Presidential Lecture Series, Mitch Daniels is pulling out the stops and bringing former President George W. Bush, his old boss, to Purdue.

Bush will be on campus for the conversation with Daniels at 6 p.m. Dec. 6 in Elliott Hall of Music, the university announced Thursday. The talk, one of more than 40 in the Presidential Lecture series Daniels started early in his time at Purdue, is being billed as “a discussion of leadership in challenging times and the responsibilities of an informed citizenship.”

“It would be hard to top the honor of ending this series with the former president of the United States,” Daniels said in a university release.
