Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D. Bishop | Archdiocese of Louisville

Bellarmine University will host its 2024 Wyatt Lecture on September 6 at 4 p.m. in Frazier Hall, located at 2001 Newburg Road.

The lecturer for this event will be Jay Bilas, an ESPN college basketball analyst and author of the New York Times bestseller “Toughness: Developing True Strength On and Off the Court.”

The Wyatt Lecture Series was established in 1990 by Wilson W. Wyatt, a former mayor of Louisville and Kentucky lieutenant governor, along with his wife Anne D. Wyatt. The series aims to bring to Bellarmine’s campus "individuals of national or international prominence who have distinguished themselves in government or public service or who have been important observers and analysts of public affairs and government," according to a press release from the university.

This event will also serve as the kickoff for Bellarmine’s alumni weekend. It is free and open to the public; however, registration is required by September 2 at www.alumni.bellarmine.edu/.
