Columnist and author Timothy Egan will be the guest speaker at this year's Honors Convocation.
Egan is the author of six books including The Worst Hard Time about the Dust Bowl (winner of the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2006). He will be the onscreen narrator of Ken Burns’ PBS documentary on that subject, due to air in the fall.
Also on the program will be music by the TCU Brass Quintet, Honors student Erik Danielson and Honors faculty Gloria Lin (piano) and Jesús Castro-Balbi (cello). The Lin/Castro-Balbi Duo will perform Revolutions, composed by Honors faculty Till Meyn, which they recently premiered at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Roach Honors College, AddRan College of Liberal Arts, College of Communication, College of Education, College of Fine Arts, College of Science & Engineering, Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences and M.J.
