SUMMARY:Hillary Clinton ~ Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Free tickets for students will be distributed via a Ticket Lottery.  Please register for the Ticket Lottery October 1st – 6th for your chance to possibly receive a free Clinton ticket by visiting http://buffalo.edu/dss/tickets and scroll down to the  “Tickets for UB Students” Section.  Limited quantities available.\nHillary Rodham Clinton served as the 67th Secretary of State of the United States from January 21\, 2009 until February 1\, 2013\, after nearly four decades in public service as an advocate\, attorney\, First Lady\, and Senator. \nAs First Lady\, Hillary Clinton advocated for universal affordable\, quality health care and led successful bipartisan efforts to improve the adoption and foster care systems\, reduce teen pregnancy\, and establish both the Children’s Health Insurance Program and Early Head Start\, which provides support for children in the crucial first three years of life. \nShe also traveled to more than 80 countries as a representative of our country\, winning respect as a champion of human rights\, democracy\, civil society\, and opportunities for women and girls around the world. \nIn 2000\, Clinton made history as the first First Lady elected to the United States Senate. She worked across party lines to expand economic opportunity and access to quality\, affordable health care\, including for wounded service members\, veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserves. After September 11\, 2001\, she helped secure more than $20 billion for the rebuilding of New York and fought for the health needs of first responders who risked their lives at Ground Zero. \nIn 2007 and 2008\, Clinton made her historic campaign for President\, winning 18 million votes\, and more primaries and delegates than any woman had before. \nIn her four years as Secretary of State\, Clinton played a central role in restoring America’s standing in the world and strengthening its global leadership. Her “smart power” approach to foreign policy elevated American diplomacy and development and repositioned them for the 21st century — with new tools\, technologies\, and partners\, including the private sector and civil society around the world. As America’s chief diplomat and the President’s principal foreign policy adviser\, Clinton spearheaded progress on many of our greatest national security challenges\, from reasserting the United States as a Pacific power and imposing crippling sanctions on Iran and North Korea to responding to the challenges and opportunities of the Arab Awakening and negotiating a ceasefire in the Middle East. She pushed the frontiers of human rights and demonstrated that giving women the opportunity to participate fully is vital to the security\, stability\, and prosperity of all nations. \nToday\, Clinton continues to build on the nonprofit work she began nearly four decades ago through the Bill\, Hillary\, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation\, which works to improve global health\, strengthen economies\, promote health and wellness\, and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among businesses\, governments\, nongovernmental organizations\, and private citizens.
