Lecture Series: Al Franken

The former U.S. Senator from Minnesota will delve into critical issues a week before the 2024 election, emphasizing the need for collective action to safeguard the nation’s foundation. Franken will deliver a clear message: It’s time to speak up and shape the future of democracy.

Franken spent 15 seasons as a Saturday Night Live cast member and offers behind-the-scenes perspectives on both the U.S. government and the late-night comedy institution. Also a best-selling author, he has received five Emmy Awards and two Grammys and authored four #1 New York Times bestsellers.
