The evening, for which more than 400 tickets have already been sold, will recognize two watershed events—the launch of the new flagship School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, and the recognition of the generous philanthropy of James S. Palmer, QC, OC, whose lead gift has led to the creation of The School.
In her keynote address, Rice will offer her perspectives on the critical issues facing North America from a global perspective and highlight the role of organizations like The School of Public Policy in providing solutions that define North America’s place in the world.
“The School of Public Policy is honoured that Condoleezza Rice has agreed to present the keynote speech at our inaugural event,” said Jack Mintz, director and chair of the new School of Public Policy and Palmer Chair in Public Policy. “There is no better way to emphasize the purpose of The School than to have someone with her level of practical and theoretical policy expertise present our vision to the community.”
