The Waldron Student-Alumni Connections Program will be featuring a talk with professor and Obama speechwriter Cody Keenan '02.
Cody Keenan has been a speechwriter for President Barack Obama for more than a decade, rising from a campaign intern in Chicago to Director of Speechwriting at the White House. Through times of challenge and change, Keenan has worked with President Obama to craft remarks on every topic for every audience – from tiny backyards in Iowa to the biggest stadiums in the country; from sermons on the national stage to the State of the Union Address.
Keenan '02 is also a visiting professor at Northwestern and we are fortunate to have him speak with students about his career journey this fall.
