Eric Holder, former U.S. Attorney General under President Barack Obama, has been confirmed as the next speaker in the College’s Presidential Lecture Series. The event will take place on September 17, 2026, in Goddard Auditorium in Carpenter Hall.
Holder is one of the foremost voices in American law and policy today. As the 82nd attorney general and the first African American to hold the position, he broke boundaries with his progressive leadership and crucial influence on criminal justice in the United States. An accomplished speaker, he brings a wealth of experience from his storied career to his talks on current events, leadership, voter’s rights, and his time in the Obama White House.
The Presidential Lecture Series has welcomed nationally recognized speakers in recent years, including Pete Buttigieg, Van Jones, and Nikole Hannah-Jones, continuing Earlham’s tradition of bringing leading thinkers and public figures into conversation with the campus community.
Earlham College reserves the right to revoke or cancel tickets and refuse admission at its sole discretion. Holder assumes all risks incidental to the event and waives all claims against the event sponsor, venue, promoters, participants, and ticket issuer for injury, loss, or damage arising from attendance, except as prohibited by law.
