Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist will be a Distinguished Professorial Lecturer at Stetson University College of Law, starting this semester, a release from the College stated Monday.
“It’s always exciting and stimulating to have the opportunity to interact with young people in our state, particularly the caliber of students at Stetson University College of Law,” Crist said. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be invited to do so and I’m very humbled by the invitation.”
Crist will serve as a guest lecturer in various classes, interact with students, and deliver presentations on the Stetson Law campus and at law school events. Crist plans to present Stetson Law’s Nichols Foundation Prominent Speakers Lecture Series in the spring. Established in 1995, the Nichols Series enriches academic life at Stetson by presenting prominent speakers from business, government and the law.
Crist, who was Florida’s 44th governor, also served as attorney general, education commissioner and state senator. He is currently a lawyer at the firm Morgan and Morgan, after losing his bid to become a U.S. Senator in November 2010, to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.
