SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY SERIES 2009 2007 1984 1994 2007 2003 2017 2001 2015 2002 SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY SERIES In 1982, Salem State invited President Gerald Ford, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and renowned journalist Douglas Kiker to speak at the college during that academic year. Each of their presentations was open to the public, and the response was tremendous. Thus was born the Salem State Series. In the 39 years since, ever-larger audiences have enjoyed the opportunity to hear presidents, press secretaries and prime ministers; activists, actors and authors; legendary figures from the world of sports, politics and science; and authors, columnists and journalists. The Salem State Series stands now as one of the premier continuously running college lecture series in the country, attracting thousands of patrons annually. We plan once again to present notable speakers on subjects designed to inform, engage and encourage discussion within the community. We hope to count you among our supporters. The Salem State Series is produced under the auspices of the Salem State Foundation. As a self-supporting community enrichment program, the Series assists the university in fulfilling its public education mission. We are grateful to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have enabled the Series to grow and prosper through their ongoing financial support. 2020 2019 2018 Paul Farmer Rebecca Eaton Sam Kennedy Paul Farmer 2017 2016 2015 John Legend Richard DesLauriers Ed Davis Tom Brady 2013 2012 Tony Kushner Cory Booker Bobby Valentine Peter Gammons 2011 2010 Newt Gingrich John Irving Deepak Chopra Ted Kennedy Jr. 2009 2008 Jay Leno Bob and Lee Woodruff Bill Belichick George F.
