Speaker Series Registration Open


We are less than one month away until Karl Rove and Howard Dean come to UAlbany to debate in the Second Installment of the World Within Reach Speaker Series! RSVP via the Facebook Event page.

On the night of April 8th, SEFCU Arena will get heated as the former Bush Administration political advisor and the former Democratic Party chairman engage in a lively debate. Rove is known as “The Architect” of President Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaigns, while Dean is credited with developing the "50 State Strategy" that contributed to the election of Barack Obama and other democrats during the 2008 election.

Everyone must register for the event on the secure registration page. UAlbany students, alumni, family, and friends of the community are able to attend. Tickets must be picked up at Copies Plus in the Campus Center, which is open from 9am-5pm. They may be picked up until 5pm on April 8th at the latest.

Any tickets not picked up at Copies Plus will be held at Will Call in the PE building (across from the SEFCU Arena) on the night of the event. Will Call opens at 6pm and closes at 7:30pm.

All tickets not picked up at Will Call by 7:30 will be redistributed to anyone who wants to attend the event. There were tickets left over at the previous Speaker Series event, so it is worth trying to get a ticket last minute in case you or a friend doesn't have a ticket/didn't register.

Doors open at 6:45pm, must be seated by 7:30pm. The debate begins at 8pm.

Full event information can be found on the official Speaker Series site.

If you have a question for Karl Rove and/or Howard Dean, please go to the Fireside Lounge in the Campus Center on Wednesday March 17th and Thursday March 18th from 10am to 5pm. Albany Student Television will video record your question. These video clips will be used during a segment in the debate.
