In March of 2020, Wake Forest University launched a signature speaker series called the Face to Face Speaker Forum. The community-facing series brings world-renowned, influential voices to Winston-Salem to discuss topics in a variety of areas including politics, arts and culture, business and social justice.
Due to the pandemic, 2020-2021 Face to Face in-person events were postponed. Below are the rescheduled dates:
- September 14, 2021: Malcolm Gladwell, journalist and author of “Blink” and “Outliers”
- November 9, 2021: Former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright (1997-2001) and Colin Powell (2001-2005)
- February 16, 2022: Yo-Yo Ma, cellist, cultural ambassador and U.N. Messenger of Peace
All three events will be held at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
In addition to the inaugural season, the Face to Face Speaker Forum is presenting a special event. Sanjay Gupta, the Emmy® award-winning chief medical correspondent for CNN, will be speaking at Wait Chapel on Wake Forest University’s Reynolda campus on April 12, 2022.
