Zengerle Lecture 4

The Department of English and Philosophy (DEP) presented the West Point Humanities Center’s seventh annual Zengerle Lecture in the arts and humanities on April 15 at the Haig Room in Jefferson Hall Library.

The guest speaker for the event was John Dickerson, a CBS national correspondent and host of CBS News Primetime, who conversed with a room full of DEP cadets and asking them “What is their why?” He spoke to them about when times are tough, you ask yourself why you are doing something to stay centered on your path even if it is not popular. He also gave them some advice to “not to be insular” in the context of always have an open mind as a leader and don’t fall for click bait news.

During his speech, he referenced one of his best interviews, congressmen John R. Lewis, and his plight as a civil rights activist, and the struggles presidents face during adversity and how they find their way through the tough times. He referenced former president and West Point graduate Dwight D. Eisenhower as a president he admired, and he spoke some of his book, “The Hardest Job in the World,” which focuses on presidential history and the office of the presidency.
