New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who won a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Donald Trump presidency, will kick off the 2021-22 Drew University Forum lecture series on Nov. 17.

Haberman, also a CNN political analyst, will appear in a virtual format at 7:30 p.m. Registration is required and free of charge.

Speakers typically addressed guests at campus venues for the series, which in past years has featured Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time, Gen. John Kelly and Condoleezza Rice.

"With a uniquely informed perspective having closely covered and built a complex relationship with President Donald Trump, Haberman will discuss the nation's most explosive era of modern journalism," the university said.

After her talk, Haberman will take questions from the virtual audience in a Q&A session moderated by Lisa Lynch, an associate professor and director of Drew’s media and communications program.

Haberman and her New York Times team won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for their coverage of the Trump administration, the transition to the White House and alleged Russian tampering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The Haberman team's reporting also earned the Aldo Beckman Award from the White House Correspondents' Association.

Daughter of longtime Times reporter Clyde Haberman, Maggie Haberman covered City Hall for the New York Daily News, the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign and other political races for the New York Post, and national affairs for Politico.

Future Drew Forum speakers and venues will be announced later this week.
