The University of Vermont announced today that it will host U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on October 20.
UVM’s new president, Dr. Marlene Tromp, will hold a sit-down conversation with Justice Sotomayor at Ira Allen Chapel from 7 to 8 p.m. Invitations, sent Thursday afternoon, are for UVM students and staff only.
In recent weeks, Justice Sotomayor has visited other campuses as part of her ongoing tour promoting civic education and her children’s book, Just Shine! How to Be a Better You. In September, she participated in a fireside chat at Washington University in St. Louis, discussing lessons from her mother’s life and offering guidance for young people. She also visited the University of Miami and New York Law School last month.
