Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke with Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy Director David Satterfield at an event in the Brockman Hall for Opera’s Morrison Theater Feb. 15.
Rice President Reginald DesRoches welcomed Rice onto the stage with an introduction that relayed her extensive resume that spans from international relations to statecraft to football team ownership. He also presented her the Baker Prize for Excellence in Leadership.
“Condoleezza Rice is not only one of the most accomplished diplomats of her time, she is also an incredible human being who represents the very best of our nation,” he said.
Satterfield, who is currently serving as special envoy for Middle East humanitarian issues for the Biden administration, and Rice’s conversation spanned her experience growing up in racially-segregated Alabama, the state of the union, free speech, academic freedom to global leadership.
