Outspoken conservative pundit Ann Coulter will speak in a rare free event on campus on Monday, April 18, 2005.

                This is a must-see event for conservatives and liberals alike.  Ms. Coulter is a witty and passionate  speaker—extremely popular on college campuses across the nation.  In a speech at the Conservative Women’s Network on June 5, 2000, Coulter stated: “I love speaking on college campuses.  The environments are so hegemonically left-wing that any students who bring me to speak are invariably the rebels.  They’re always bright, politically active, and appear to wake up every morning thinking: What can I do today to annoy liberals?  Apparently, bringing me to speak is one of the popular options.”

                Ann Coulter is the author of four New York Times best-sellers, including High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, Slander: Liberal Lies about the American Right, and Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism.  Her latest work is How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter.
