Olympia Snowe, a former Republican senator from Maine, will speak in the University Club on Feb. 25.
The first Kennedy Political Union speaker event of the semester will begin at 8:30 p.m. next Monday, according to an email from KPU Director Alex Kreger.
Snowe, the first Greek-American to be elected to Congress, served in the House of Representatives for 16 years before being elected to the Senate in 1994, according to her website.
She did not run for re-election in 2012. She left due to frustration with increased partisanship in the Senate, she wrote in The Washington Post in March.
The event will be free to students with an AU ID.
