    Hello Campus Partners, 

    I hope this message finds you well.  We are extending an invitation to our Legacy Leadership Speaker Series event that promises to engage and inform our UConn community.  Our program is honored to host Jonathan Eig, the renowned author of "KING: A Life," on campus on October 23rd, 2023, 6:00PM – 7:30PM at the Student Union Theatre, followed by a book signing. 

    Jonathan Eig's work, "KING: A Life," delves into the extraordinary life of Martin Luther King Jr., bringing to light untold stories and behind-the-scenes details. This book, a New York Times bestseller, has earned national recognition, and Mr. Eig's visit promises to be a memorable occasion.
