Sen. Amy Klobuchar To Give Closing Talk At Boulder CWA

BOULDER, CO -- A Conference on World Affairs announcement Thursday revealed that U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, a 2020 presidential candidate, will be a part of the closing presentation at this year's event. The Molly Ivins Memorial Plenary, this year titled, “A Conversation with Senator Amy Klobuchar,” will take place on Saturday, April 13, at 4 p.m. in Macky Auditorium on the CU Boulder campus.

Tom Zeiler, professor of history and director of the program in international affairs at the University of Colorado Boulder will moderate the discussion which will cover "a wide range of pressing issues facing communities like Boulder across the country," according to Thursday's announcement. Klobuchar will also receive questions from the audience via the free CWA app.

Klobuchar is currently serving as the senior U.S. senator from Minnesota, and is the first female senator in the state's history. Klobuchar advocates for putting partisanship and politics aside in favor of strengthening our economy and helping middle-class families. A recent Vanderbilt University study ranked Senator Klobuchar as the most effective Democratic senator in the last Congress.

The event will be free, but tickets are required due to limited seating. CU students will be given priority, and a minimum of 500 tickets will be reserved for non-CU community members.
