Prime minister oF israel<br />
celebrating<br />
our 10th anniversary<br />
On an autumn night in 2002,<br />
<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Morris</strong> <strong>University</strong> launched<br />
its Pittsburgh Speakers Series at<br />
Heinz Hall with a lecture by<br />
Benjamin Netanyahu. Then between<br />
terms as prime minister of Israel,<br />
Netanyahu gave an impassioned<br />
address — one that drew its fair<br />
share of protestors — calling on<br />
America to attack Iraq and topple<br />
Saddam Hussein from power.<br />

Few of the 70 speakers who have been a part of<br />
the Pittsburgh Speakers Series since that night<br />
are as controversial. But each has been just as<br />
memorable and thought-provoking.<br />
For ten years, RMU has been inviting important<br />
personalities to town to share their views and<br />
engage in discussions with audiences interested<br />
in the world and eager to learn more. The series<br />
has welcomed winners of the Pulitzer and<br />
Nobel prizes, world leaders, statesmen,<br />
distinguished journalists, authors, and other<br />
celebrities to enlighten, inspire, and entertain<br />
audiences with their diverse opinions and<br />
profound insights.<br />

The university is proud to be a part of elevating<br />
public dialog in our community. We thank the<br />
subscribers who have made our first ten years<br />
of Pittsburgh Speakers Series a great success.<br />
And we look forward to many more<br />
scintillating seasons to come.<br />
