The Burkett Miller Distinguished Lecture Series will present constitutional attorney Ann Coulter on Monday, Oct. 5, at noon in the Roland Hayes Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
Ms. Coulter will address "Evaluating the Change in American Government" and her speech will be critiqued by UTC faculty Dr. Rebecca Jones with assistance from Dr. Heather Palmer.
Sponsored by the Scott L. Probasco, Jr. Chair of Free Enterprise and the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, this event is free and open to the public.
