Former Vice President Mike Pence is set to speak at the University of Alabama next month.
Pence has been invited by the university’s Young America’s Foundation (YAF) for a gathering called “Saving America from the Woke Left” event. The group made the announcement on social media saying it was “thrilled that Vice President Mike Pence is our guest speaker this semester.” YAF is an organization typically made up of conservative and libertarian students on campuses throughout the U.S.
The event will be April 11 at the Student Center Ballroom, 751 Campus West Drive. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. The event is free, and open to the public. To register, visit this site.
The former vice president is scheduled to make his remarks at 6:30 and end at 7:30. After his speech, Pence will take questions from the audience.
Pence served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2001-13. After leaving the House, he was governor of Indiana from 2013-17. From 2017-21, Pence served as vice president during the Trump Administration.
Even though no official announcement has been made, Pence said last month he will make a decision “by the spring” about whether to seek the presidency.
