Join us for An Evening With Karine Jean-Pierre, Former Press Secretary and Senior Advisor to President Joseph R. Biden Jr., on Thursday, October 23, 2025, 7:30 pm at the Field House, Wellness & Recreation Complex, Springfield College.
Springfield College will host Karine Jean-Pierre, former press secretary and senior advisor to President Biden, author, activist, and media personality. Jean-Pierre served in President Biden's administration and is the first Black person and the first openly queer person to serve as the White House Press Secretary, and she remains the longest-serving female in that role.
In addition, she is the author of a 2019 memoir titled Moving Forward: A Story of Hope, Hard Work, and the Promise of America, which looks back and examines her life as a first-generation Haitian American. In October 2025, she debuted her latest book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines. The book signing will follow the lecture.
This event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. Registration is requested. For more information and to register for the event, please visit springfield.edu/speakerseries
