The Augustana University and Center for Western Studies Boe Forum on Public Affairs is featuring a noted presidential historian this year.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham is set to be the featured speaker.
Meacham has appeared as a commentator on several national outlets, and was featured in Ken Burns’ documentary series on the Roosevelts.
"The Center for Western Studies is thrilled to bring renowned historian Jon Meacham to Sioux Falls and the surrounding region as the first of two successive forums designed to commemorate America's 250th anniversary in 2026," said Center for Western Studies Executive Director Harry Thompson." We've asked Mr. Meacham to reflect on America's past and the lessons we have learned. Next year, the Boe Forum speaker will be asked to peer into the future of the American republic."
The 2025 Boe Forum is March 19 at the Elmen Center on Augustana's campus. Tickets, which are free but limited, are available Feb. 10. More ticket information can be found on Augustana's website.
