University of Iowa alumnus Roger Thurow left Iowa City for a long and storied career with the Wall Street Journal. The now 61-year-old journalist went on to pen three internationally renowned books on hunger.
Looking back on his career now, he is quick to point out that his love of writing began at The Daily Iowan - on the sports desk, of all places.

There is still time to give!
Many young Africans aspire to study in the U.S. but face serious financial obstacles that prevent them from doing so. Supplementing an African student's first year of tuition and transitional expenses will help them gain a foothold to begin studies in the U.S., where just getting here is often the biggest barrier.

The twentieth century has been called the American Century, a time when American ingenuity, economic growth, military power, and vibrant cultural expression led to increased prosperity and confidence at home and a stabilizing role in leadership on the international stage. 2018 finds us in a time of shifting alliances, renewed nationalism, unraveling multinational trade agreements, and serious divides at every level of political discourse.
On the next
WorldCanvass
, historians, political scientists, and a former U.S. ambassador will look back over the last century through the prism of foreign policy and explore the interwar period (1918-1939), follow the rise of the post-WWII Western alliance, and assess U.S. foreign policy in a new time of global realignment and instability.
The live event takes place December 5 from 5:30-7 p.m. at MERGE, 136 South Dubuque Street.
We invite you to come at 5 and join us for a pre-show catered reception!
