U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will present the first Landon Lecture of the school year at Kansas State University on Friday. He will speak at 10:30 a.m. in McCain Auditorium.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Security measures will require that all of those attending pass through metal detectors when entering McCain Auditorium. The clear bag policy used at K-State sporting evens will be in effect for the lecture.

Doors to the auditorium will open at 9:30 a.m. Due to the additional security measures for the lecture, all the attendees are asked to allot sufficient time to be seated by 10:20 a.m.

Pompeo became the nation’s 70th secretary of state on April 26, 2018. He is a former three-term congressman for the 4th District in Kansas.
