DePauw University welcomes Gorbachev to Oct. 27 lecture
GREENCASTLE, Ind. - Mikhail Gorbachev, former leader of the Soviet Union and the man credited with helping to end the Cold War, will come to the campus of DePauw University Thursday, Oct. 27, to deliver The Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture.
Recipient of the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize, Gorbachev will speak at 4 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium of DePauw's Performing Arts Center (the venue is subject to change). Gorbachev's address is free and open to the public.
Gorbachev, 74, served as leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991. He is world-renowned and admired for streamlining and decentralizing the oppressive system he inherited. In an effort to secure relations with the West, Gorbachev signed two broad disarmament pacts, and ended Communist rule in Eastern Europe.
