Strudler is thrilled to have Geist visit the School and speak with its community.

“Willie Geist has distinguished himself as one the most talented, versatile, and intelligent voices in news media,” Strudler noted. “We’re excited for his perspective, not only on the current news and political environments, but also the civic role of our media in an increasingly complex world. The School is honored to have Willie come to Montclair State – and back to his home state of New Jersey.”
