Dr. Lee Hong-Koo, the prime minister of South Korea from 1994 to 1995, will act as the University’s 2006 Visiting Presidential Lecturer tonight at 6 p.m. in 282 Lillis.
Hong-Koo’s lecture, “The Emerging Asia Pacific Community and the American Role,” is free and open to the public.
Hong-Koo, a former member of the Korean National Assembly and former chairman of the New Korea Party, also has served as South
Korea’s ambassador to the United States (1998-2000) and to the United Kingdom (1991-1993).
University President Dave Frohnmayer inaugurated the Presidential Lecture program in 2003 when former U.S. Senator Paul Simon lectured. The hallmark of a Presidential Lectureship is the idea that the visiting speaker engages the academic community and students in small groups and classroom settings as well as in a public lecture, according to a University press release.
