Since leaving the White House, former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager has found her own voice and her own mission.
Bush Hager will serve as the keynote speaker at Missouri State University’s fall 2018 Public Affairs Conference. She will speak at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 25 at Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts.
She is a best-selling author and contributing correspondent for NBC’s Today show. She also chairs the United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) Next Generation and is editor-at-large of Southern Living Magazine.
“If you’ve seen her reports, you know the compassion with which she tells people’s stories,” said Mary Ann Wood, director of public affairs support. “She shares personal accounts of everyday people improving their communities.”
The event kicks off MSU’s Public Affairs Conference, scheduled from Sept. 25-27. The theme is “Unity in Community.”
Thanks to the Missouri State University Foundation and presenting sponsor Northern Trust, Bush Hager’s keynote is free and open to the public.
