Chris Wallace, the 2018 R. Dan Boulware Convocation on Critical Issues<\/p><\/div>\n

at the 25th<\/sup> annual R. Dan Boulware Convocation on Critical Issues this fall. His presentation, \u201cA View from Washington,\u201d begins at 10 a.m. Nov. 13 in the Looney Complex arena and is free and open to the public. Wallace will also be the featured guest at the annual Convocation Luncheon at noon Nov. 13 in the Fulkerson Center.<\/p>\n

Currently the host of \u201cFOX News Sunday,\u201d Wallace previously reported from the ABC News desk as a senior correspondent for \u201cPrimetime\u201d and \u201c20\/20,\u201d and as an anchor on the longest-running show on television, NBC News\u2019 \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d The author of the best-seller, \u201cCharacter: Profiles in Presidential Courage,\u201d Wallace has won every major broadcast news award, including three Emmys, the Peabody Award and the Dupont-Columbia Silver Baton Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted the Convocation primarily for our students. But secondarily, I wanted to bring our community and University together for a common purpose \u2013 to learn and grow together,\u201d said Dan\u00a0Boulware<\/span>, for whom the Convocation is named. \u201cBringing national speakers to our University enhances the reputation of Missouri Western both regionally and beyond. It augments the educational process in a number of positive ways. It is appropriate for our 25th<\/sup>\u00a0annual Convocation on Critical Issues that we have secured another high-profile speaker who I consider to be widely respected and viewed as the leading journalist in the country today. His presence here right after the midterm election is perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
