Tuesday Briefings
A series of presentations by nationally known commentators

The award, along with a presentation by Ms. Clarke, was given on Tuesday, November 18 at the Peterborough Town House. The culmination of Franklin Pierce College’s “Tuesday Briefing” series, the award to Ms. Clarke was given in recognition of her dynamic leadership after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and her innovative approach to journalism with the inauguration of the “embedded journalist” program in the war against Iraq.
