Rock Hill native and USC School of Journalism and Mass Communications graduate Jim Hoagland, ’61, will be the featured speaker at the school’s second annual Buchheit Family Lecture at 7 p.m., Oct. 5 in the Law School Auditorium.
Hoagland is associate editor and senior foreign correspondent for The Washington Post where he has won two Pulitzer Prizes for his reporting. His twice-weekly columns focus on major questions and issues facing national security and foreign affairs policymakers.
Hoagland’s lecture, which is free and open to students, faculty, staff, media, and the public, will address current news events, his broad range of experience as a foreign correspondent, and his days as a USC undergraduate.
The Buchheit Family Lecture series is made possible through an endowment provided by the Buchheit Family of Spartanburg.
Hoagland’s columns have covered many decades of news, including the forces that would bring about the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union; momentous changes in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and how those events shaped the major international issues of the 1990s; the Tiananmen Square protests; Saddam Hussein’s menacing posture toward his Arab neighbors and the United States; and the U.S. response to the deadly terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
