Pulitzer Prize-winner Gordon Wood will present the keynote speech at the President’s Associates dinner Feb. 28 in the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.
Wood wrote “The Radicalism of the American Revolution,” which won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for History, and also taught for nearly 40 years at Brown University, where he serves as the Alva O. Way Professor Emeritus.
“No one has explained better than Gordon Wood the factors which came together to produce the unique generation that led the American Revolution and had the wisdom to write the American Constitution,” OU President David Boren said in a press release.
Before the dinner, an informal discussion open to students will be held, according to the press release.
OU students, faculty and staff can reserve a seat for the event by calling the OU Office of Special Events at 405-325-3784.
