Former President Bill Clinton (SFS ’68) is scheduled to speak in Gaston Hall Friday as part of a discussion focusing on the economic record of the Clinton presidency and its relevance in the current fiscal downturn.
Sponsored by the Clinton Foundation, the event will also feature former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and a number of former members of Clinton’s cabinet, including former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin and former Chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers Laura Tyson.

According to the Clinton Foundation, the event will celebrate the 20th anniversary of then-Gov. Clinton’s New Covenant speeches, in which he famously outlined his governing philosophy in Gaston Hall during the fall of 1991.
