The second year of the School of Journalism Speaker Series kicks off Sept. 17 with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Bob Woodward, who will speak at 7 p.m. in the IU Auditorium.

Woodward’s reporting with fellow Washington Post colleague Carl Bernstein cracked open the Watergate scandal and earned the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize in 1973. Since then, Woodward has written or co-written 11 national bestsellers, including All the President’s Men and Bush at War.
