Earlier this morning, Student Assembly President Elijah Levine ’18 and SA President-Elect Brendan Boylan ’19 announced in a campus-wide email that CNN anchor Anderson Cooper will moderate a discussion with former FBI Director James Comey ’82.
The town hall will be held April 25 at 8 p.m. in Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall and will be broadcast nationally and internationally on CNN. Ticketing information has not yet been released, but Levine and Boylan said the majority of seats would be reserved for students.
“Hosting a national conversation on our campus — and allowing our student body to engage current events that impact us all — is exactly the type of event we like to see on campus,” Levine and Boylan said in the campus-wide email. “This is a great opportunity for William & Mary.”
