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

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

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