Edward O’Keefe returns to Grand Forks for a conversation with President Andrew Armacost. Join us as they discuss Mr. O’Keefe’s journey from North Dakota to national media prominence and beyond. 

A Grand Forks native, Edward F. O’Keefe spent two decades in broadcast and digital media at ABC News, CNN, and NowThis, during which time he received a Primetime Emmy Award for his work with Anthony Bourdain, two Webby Awards, the Edward R. Murrow Award, and a George Foster Peabody Award for ABC’s coverage of 9/11.  As a Harvard Kennedy School Fellow, O'Keefe's research of the Theodore Roosevelt papers inspired his recently published book, The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt, which reveals how T.R. was profoundly shaped by the women in his life. Focusing again on North Dakota, O’Keefe is now the CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation.
