Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader will speak at Penn later this month.
Nader will deliver the keynote address, titled "Social Justice in the Post-Bush Era," at the School of Social Policy and Practice's centennial celebration, according to a University press release.
The speech will take place Sept. 25 at 3 p.m. in the Zellerbach Theatre.
The school's centennial celebration will be a year-long series of events, including special lectures, books about the school's history and the formation of a new scholarship.
"For 100 years, the School of Social Policy and Practice has produced a generation of 'thought leaders' - clinicians, agency leaders and policymakers," Dean Richard Gelles said in a statement.
"Ralph Nader is an effective social-change agent - and we are able to create social change because of the commitment of our students, faculty, programs and research," he said.
