Please join us for a special event with Carleton’s President Emeritus Stephen R. Lewis, Jr. President Lewis will be speaking on Wednesday, April 18, at 4:30 p.m. in the Gould Library Athenaeum. He will be discussing his new book Very Brave or Very Foolish? Memoirs of an African Democrat which he co-wrote with Botswana’s former President Quett Masire. Lewis has worked as a consultant to Masire since 1975 and lived in Botswana twice. He will share his insights about the leadership of Masire, a self-described “reluctant politician,” the economic and political development of Botswana, and the collaborative process of writing this memoir. A booksigning and reception with refreshments will follow the talk. Very Brave or Very Foolish? will be sold at the event and is now available in the Bookstore at a 15% discount.
