HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College hosted a Hometown Lecture Series luncheon and speech in Mobile, Alabama, on March 29. Ronald J. Pestritto, dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Statesmanship at Hillsdale College, addressed guests on “The Pandemic, the Bureaucracy, and the Future of American Politics.”

“Hometown lectures are a good reminder that the College has many supporters of its mission in all corners of the country,” Pestritto said.

The event took place at the Battle House Renaissance Hotel. Approximately 335 friends of the College attended the speech and complimentary luncheon.

“The goal, like other Hillsdale events, is to give our constituents an opportunity to listen to an interesting lecture, ask questions, enjoy our hospitality in general, and thereby get to know us better,” said Kathleen Ruddy, director of associates and special projects at Hillsdale College.

Since 2011, the College has welcomed more than 9,500 guests to Hometown Lectures in locations ranging from Eugene, Oregon, to Providence, Rhode Island, to Melbourne, Florida.

The next Hometown Lecture will take place in Des Moines, Iowa on April 27.
