The First Ladies and Their Lasting Impact
with Anita McBride

We have a special opportunity at Hope College to hear from one of Washington's leading voices on First Ladies. (And no, you do not have to be a student to attend - this is a public event for all ages.)

Anita McBride will be at Hope's Schaap Auditorium for a conversation on the First Ladies of the United States and their lasting impact.

As a leading expert on the role of First Ladies, McBride brings a remarkable perspective and firsthand experience to this fascinating topic. This is a rare opportunity to hear from someone who has worked at the highest levels of the White House and has dedicated her career to understanding the influence and legacy of America’s First Ladies.
