The College of the Ozarks is set to host The National Symposium on Patriotic Education in two weeks.

The event, to be held at the school but available via Live Stream across the country hosted by The William S. Knight Center for Patriotic Education at the school, is to revive historic American values and virtue on the eve of the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.

Featured speakers for the September 16 and 17 event include former Vice-President Mike Pence and two other former members of the President Donald Trump administration, Dr. Ben Carson and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Dr. Andrew Bolger, Director of the Center, says in a recent interview on KRZK's Ozarks Now program, that making the program available nationwide not only is an advantage to individuals, but to organizations interested in learning more about the school's Patriotic Education Program. Bolger said has has talked to several schools around the country about the C of O Program.
