Join us in celebrating 10 years as the Bob Schieffer College of Communication. We are honored to bear the name of legendary journalist Bob Schieffer ’59, a first-generation college student who reported from Vietnam, covered the White House and Congress, hosted “Face the Nation” for 23 years and moderated three televised presidential debates.

 

On Nov. 7, Bob Schieffer returns to campus to moderate the Schieffer Symposium, which ended in 2015 after an 11-year run. These popular programs brought media heavyweights to TCU to discuss the state of journalism and current events. Previous guests included Gayle King, Bob Woodward, Norah O’Donnell, Tom Brokaw and Jake Tapper. This years panel will include Peter Baker (New York Times), Susan Glasser (The New Yorker) from CBS News:  Margaret Brennan of Face The Nation, Jeff Pegues, and alum Omar Villafranca.

 

The symposium begins at 6 p.m. in the Van Cliburn Concert Hall of the TCU Music Center, near the Schieffer College’s home in Moudy South. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

 

Tickets are free, but required. Seating is general admission. Please save your ticket to your phone for admission. TCU’s clear bag policy applies.

 

Mix and mingle afterward on the Creative Commons where we’ll serve treats and anniversary treasures.
