An exciting lineup of speakers will visit the city and Seattle U this autumn.

While Town Hall Seattle renovates its Capitol Hill home, Seattle University has been host to many of the iconic venue's events. This fall the partnership continues with six events on campus. In September, author David Quammen will discuss his book “The Tangled Tree.” In October, three Town Hall events will come to Seattle U: former U. S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan will discuss public schools, journalist and clergyman Chris Hedges will help you avoid losing faith in America, and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan will discuss affordable housing policy in Seattle.

Then in December, authors and scholars Adrienne Mayor and Ashley Nellis will both visit campus to discuss their books.
