Kean’s Distinguished Lecture Series was created to bring a diverse group of industry leaders to share their stories about their careers, and how they have succeeded within their field. Phillip has had an extensive journalistic career, including being CNN’s current Senior Political Correspondent, and moderating CNN’s 2020 Democratic Presidential Debate.

“We are thrilled to welcome Abby Phillip to our Distinguished Lecture series at Kean University. She is not only a leading presence in network coverage of national politics, she is an important voice on diversity and inclusion and a wonderful professional role model for our Kean students,” said Kean President Lamont O. Repollet, Ed.D.

“Her message and her work dovetail with Kean’s commitment to equity and inclusion and are especially important as we celebrate Black History Month.” Lamont O. Repollet also said.

Darlene Repollet, a former corporate human resources executive will conduct a Q&A session with Phillip, as part of the event. The event is free and open to the public, but anyone interested in the event has to RSVP, by clicking the link attached below.
