President Mitch Daniels and NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson talk during the third lecture of the Fall 2014 Presidential Lecture Series. The lecture, “A View from Washington,” was held Monday (Oct. 27) in Stewart Center's Loeb Playhouse.

Liasson’s reports can be heard regularly on NPR's award-winning newsmagazines "All Things Considered" and "Morning Edition." She provides extensive coverage of politics and policy from Washington, D.C. - focusing on the White House and Congress - and also reports on political trends beyond the Beltway.

Purdue’s Presidential Lecture Series features prominent experts and practitioners from various fields of interest for both academics and the community at-large. Speakers touch on topics relating to policy, leadership, culture and society.

Connected with each public presentation, speakers are integrated into relevant curricular activities on the West Lafayette campus during their visits. The series will also add speakers at various points during the year.
