Join award-winning producer and host Libby Casey for a lecture at 7 p.m., Wednesday,

D.C. are about as far apart in every sense as two places in America can be, as well
as ways to use hard-earned Alaska skills to thrive in the nation's capital. She will
provide stories and observations of life in D.C.
Casey is a producer and host of C-SPAN's morning call-in program Washington Journal. She was the Alaska Public Radio Network's D.C. correspondent after spending nearly
a decade at KUAC in Fairbanks where she covered everything from mushing to politics. Her radio stories
