The College Republicans will bring conservative radio host Guy Benson, Medill ‘07, to campus on Monday, May 17th at 7:30pm in Annenberg G21. Benson, who hosts The Guy Benson Show every Sunday night on AM 560 WIND, will be joined by political commentator Mary Katharine Ham, a writer for The Weekly Standard.
“[The] College Republicans wanted to bring Mr. Benson to campus because he is a rising star in the young conservative movement and a Northwestern alumni,” said Brittany Bull, President of the Northwestern University College Republicans.
The event, featuring two relatively young conservative personalities, is intended to educate and mobilize conservative students on campus.
“We are hoping Mr. Benson and Mary Katharine Ham will be able to inspire young conservatives to actively get involved in the political movement, educate them about how to do so, and raise awareness of the growing importance of our generation’s technology — like social networking or viral videos — in 21st century politics,” said Bull.
The College Republicans did not wish to disclose the booking fee for the two guests.
