Student Government is excited to welcome Anderson Cooper as this year's distinguished speaker in a moderated conversation at Brick City Homecoming & Family Weekend.

At CNN and 60 Minutes, Cooper has won a number of major journalism awards.  He helped lead CNN's Peabody Award winning coverage of Hurricane Katrina and DuPont award winning coverage of the 2004 tsunami off the coast of Indonesia. Throughout his career, Cooper has won 16 Emmy Awards, including two for his coverage of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and an Edward R.
