Several public television stations in Michigan will broadcast the Robert Dole and George McGovern conversation on leadership and civility that took place at Alma College on Sept. 27, 2006.

More than 1,500 students, faculty, staff and community members attended the presentation in the Hogan Physical Education Center. Delta College Quality Public Television taped the event for distribution to public broadcasting stations throughout Michigan.

The 90-minute show will air on the following dates and stations:

* 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2 on WDCQ, which covers the Flint, Saginaw, Bay City and Midland areas;

* 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5 on WTVS in Detroit;

Senior statesmen Dole and McGovern, former presidential candidates and prominent members of their opposing parties, visited Alma College to help launch the Center for Responsible Leadership Speaker Series. The series will continue next year when former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright speaks at Alma College on Sept. 12, 2007.
