“An Evening with Tina Brown” will be at 8 p.m. March 11 in the Timken Gymnasium of the McPherson Academic and Athletic Complex. The evening will consist of a moderated discussion with Brown led by Fox 8 News anchor and Mount Union alumna Stefani Schaefer.

According to the Greater Talent Network, Brown is the highest-profile, most-talked-about magazine editor in the world.
