Nicholas Kristof Challenges the Elon family

by Brynne Tuggle

Elon University is lucky enough to have the opportunity to hear from two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times Journalist Nicholas Kristof at this year’s Convocation. Kristof has built a reputation as an extraordinary thinker, human rights advocate and chronicler of humanity. Kristof embodies and lives out the Elon mission.

Pamela Kiser introduced Mr. Kristof by saying, “Through his writing, we see Nicholas Kristof as a kindred spirit. Through his travel, study and writing, he asks us (his readers) to grapple with some of the most challenging problems of our time. Former President Bill Clinton praises Kristof, saying there is no one like him for the work that he’s done by“hauling himself around the world to figure out what’s going on.”
