Kansas Wesleyan announced Friday that Dr. Rebecca Chopp \u201974 will speak Saturday, April 20, at 11 a.m. in Peters Science Hall 201. Chopp\u2019s words will immediately follow the annual Best of KWU student presentations and will be part of Spring Alumni, Family and Community Weekend 2024.<\/p>\n

The presentation will be open to the public, and afterwards, Chopp will sign copies of her latest book, \u201cStill Me: Accepting Alzheimer\u2019s Without Losing Yourself,\u201d which was published last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always a pleasure to welcome back one of a university\u2019s most distinguished alumni,\u201d said Ken Oliver, executive vice president of advancement and university operations. \u201cTheir presence shows students what\u2019s possible and the true value of a liberal arts education. We are thankful that Dr. Chopp has agreed to share her story not only at the Scholarship Gala, but also with any student, staff or faculty member who might wish to hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chopp is, indeed, one of Kansas Wesleyan\u2019s most distinguished alumni, having served as the first female chancellor of the University of Denver, 2014-19. She was also the first female president of Swarthmore College and Colgate University and held leadership positions at Emory and Yale universities.<\/p>\n

The appearance will be Chopp\u2019s first of two that Saturday, as the academic luminary will offer the keynote address at that evening\u2019s Scholarship Gala. More information on the Gala is available at www.kwu.edu\/gala2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The full Spring Alumni Weekend schedule will be released next week.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":31804,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[150,152],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-community"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDr. Rebecca Chopp \u201974 to Speak, Sign Copies of Latest Book on Campus in April -
