2017 President's Council Fall Dinner

The President's Council Fall Dinner featured special guest speaker Ron Chernow who discussed his latest biography, Grant (Penguin Press) with journalist Richard Stengel. Just one of Chernow's many critically acclaimed biographies, Grant  is  a sweeping and dramatic portrait of one of the U.S.'s most compelling generals and presidents, Ulysses S. Grant. Following Chernow and Stengel's conversation in the Celeste Auditorium, an intimate dinner was held in the Library's historic Astor Hall.
