Nobel Peace Prize Winner deKlerk to Deliver Harris Lecture
 On Tuesday, February 10, at 7 p.m. former President of South Africa F.W. deKlerk will deliver the Lewis E. Harris Lecture on Public Policy.
While president of South Africa, de Klerk released Nelson Mandela from prison and presided over the dismantling of apartheid and the adoption of South Africa's first fully democratic constitution and first multiracial elections. President de Klerk is now chairman of the Global Leadership Foundation, a consortium of former heads of state who promote peace, democracy and development worldwide by providing confidential peer-to-peer advice to governments around the world.
The Harris Lecture was endowed by the SmithKline Corporation (now Glaxo/SmithKline) in honor of its former chairman, Dr. Lewis E. Harris, also founder and former chairman of Harris Laboratories (now MDS Pharma Services). The Harris Lecture was created to examine public policy issues and provide an opportunity for interaction between students and the business and academic communities in Nebraska.
