Join Us for the ODK Drury G. Bagwell Lecture ft. Van Jones

The Honors College is excited to announce that we have partnered with Omicron Delta Kappa for the spring Drury G. Bagwell lecture: "Living Virtually, Thinking Globally" on May 3rd at 7PM, featuring CNN host and Dream Corps founder Van Jones! We hope that you can join us for a half-hour lecture followed by a half-hour moderated Q&A session. We invite current students, faculty, staff, and alumni to join us by registering at go.umd.edu/odkvanjones today.

Van Jones is the Founder of Dream Corps, a social entrepreneur, a CNN political commentator, Emmy Award-winning producer, and a New York Times best-selling author. Famous for his heart-felt election night coverage, Jones showed up as “the voice of reason” for people in red states and blue throughout the volatile 2016 political season. In 2019, Van and his team at #cut50 succeeded in passing the FIRST STEP Act (a bipartisan Federal bill that the New York Times calls the most substantial breakthrough in criminal justice in a generation).

Dr. Peter Mallios, Executive Director
