Woodward to speak at Kent State University

KENT

Kent State University said journalist Bob Woodward is scheduled to speak at the school next month.

Kent State President Beverly Warren announced that Woodward, an associate editor for the Washington Post, will speak at the university’s student center May 4. She described him in the announcement as “one of the most influential and well-known journalists of our times.”

The Akron Beacon Journal reported that Woodward’s talk will coincide with Kent State’s commemoration of the May 4, 1970, shootings on the university’s campus where four students were killed and nine others were wounded by Ohio National Guard soldiers.
