C. Michael Armstrong, chairman and chief executive of AT’T, will headline the second annual Charles F. Dolan Lecture at Fairfield University on April 24.
Charlie Rose, Emmy award-winning journalist and interviewer, will join Armstrong for “A Conversation between C. Michael Armstrong and Charlie Rose” at 8 p.m. in the Quick Center.
The Charles F. Dolan Lecture series, featuring highly accomplished, visionary and internationally recognized business leaders, was inaugurated in 2001 with Jack Welch, then-chairman and chief executive of General Electric. Geoffrey Colvin, editorial director at Fortune magazine, moderated.
The event is sponsored by the Charles F. Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University.
Armstrong heads one of the world’s premier voice, video, and data communications companies serving consumers, businesses, and government. He was elected chairman of the board and chief executive of AT’T in 1997 following a six-year tenure as chairman and CEO of Hughes Electronics. Prior to Hughes, Armstrong spent more than three decades with IBM.
A graduate of Miami University in Ohio, he also completed the advanced management curriculum at Dartmouth Institute. He serves on numerous national and international boards, committees, associations and commissions.
Rose is an acclaimed interviewer and broadcast journalist and has hosted the popular PBS series “Charlie Rose” since 1991, a program Morley Safer of CBS’ “60 Minutes” calls “the last refuge of intelligent conversation on television.”
