A public reception and booksigning precedes his lecture. Both events are free and open to the public. Mellon: an American Life, published by Knopf, is the most comprehensive account yet of the life of one of Pittsburgh’s most famous native sons. Professor Canadine wrote the biography with the full cooperation of the Mellon family and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

FREEDOM WRITERS
"FREEDOM WRITERS" is the story of a passionate teacher (Hilary Swank) who
gives her students a voice through writing. This movie addresses diversity
among other thought-provoking topics. We would love to offer CMU a FREE
screening of this movie on campus in McConomy Auditorium, as we have done in
the past with Kyle on some animation features.
