Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Five days before President Barack Obama took the oath of office, Phi Beta Kappa members in New York City participated in the inaugural Phi Beta Kappa Lecture Series, “The Changing of the Guard in Washington — What to Expect?” The speaker, broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff from “The News Hour with Jim Lehrer,” discussed the outlook for the new president, problems facing the United States, and the domestic and international issues his administration will face. Immediately following Woodruff’s lecture, Bill Baker served as the moderator in a roundtable discussion with other journalists. Baker is the Claudia Aquaviva Distinguished Professor of Education Journalist-in-Residence at Fordham University and president emeritus of Educational Broadcasting Corporation. The lecture was held on the evening of January 15, 2009, at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center Campus.
