Hillary Clinton To Speak At Georgetown University

GEORGETOWN, DC — Hillary Clinton will speak at an event hosted by the Georgetown Institute For Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) at Georgetown University Friday, according to a news release from the college.

Clinton will address "the important role that women can play in international politics and peace building efforts," and will also present four awards.

This is part of the annual Hillary Rodham Clinton Awards for Advancing Women in Peace and Security ceremony hosted by GIWPS, where Clinton is the honorary founding chair.

Each year, the ceremony recognizes women who are working to create a "more peaceful and secure world."

The 2017 award ceremony will focus on the Colombian peace agreement, which ended the longest armed conflict in the Western Hemisphere. Clinton will give awards to three woman and one man from Colombia who helped to secure the peace agreement.

Georgetown University students, faculty and staff are eligible to attend the ceremony and can line up for tickets on Friday morning.

Clinton has spent most of her post-election time in her hometown of Chappaque, New York, but it appears that she's ready to gradually return to the spotlight.

On Saint Patrick's Day she addressed a crowd in Scranton, Pennsylvania and said she's "ready to come out of the woods," according to USA Today.

“I am ready to come out of the woods and to help shine a light on what is already happening around kitchen tables, at dinners like this, to help draw strength that will enable everybody to keep going,” said Clinton.
