Christine Romans will be giving a lecture at Iowa State University on November 6, 2007 at 6:30pm as part of their Technology, Globalization, and Culture Series and part of the Iowa State 150th Anniversary Alumni Lecture Series.
The ISU Lectures Program is a collaborative effort between the Government of the Student Body and the Office of the Provost. The program works to bring to campus a broad spectrum of stimulating lectures, political debates, and academic forums; cultural events, including musical performances and art and dance programs; and entertainment, such as film and comedy. All lectures are free and open to the public. (from ISU's website)

Romans is not the first CNN anchor to participate in the university's lecture program.. In October 2005, Soledad O'Brien presented Women and Leadership: Mentoring the Next Generation.

In a CNN Press Release, CNN announced that Reggie Aqui will become a CNN.com anchor. An excerpt from the release appears below:
As a CNN.com anchor, Aqui will guide users through news reports and breaking news coverage on the site’s live video service and will anchor “Now in the News,” a fast-paced hourly Web- and wireless-exclusive news update. He will also provide updates on CNN/U.S. and Headline News about the most popular stories on CNN.com.
“As the most popular gateway to news on the Web, CNN.com stands as the only news site offering multiple live video streams as well as full-time anchors,” [Sandy Malcolm, executive producer of CNN.com video] said. “The addition of Reggie helps us to continue to grow a well-rounded team of journalists for CNN.com, enabling us to give our users the news they want, how they want it and when they want it.”
"Now in the News" is available through the CNN Podcast website or through iTunes.

Oh BA you just made my entire WEEK! I have been wishing that Christine Romans would come back to ISU for a lecture/visit and I'm so glad she will finally be here! I marked that date down and will definitely be there!
I remember Soledad coming to lecture in 2005. I heard about it, but didn't go because I had a prior commitment. Now looking back, I should have canceled that and went to listen to her!
