EMPORIA, Kan. (AP) Former Kansas Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer is returning to his alma mater of Emporia State University this week to deliver a lecture.
The university says Thursday’s lecture by Sherrer is called “Lessons Learned.” The event begins at 7 p.m. in Webb Hall and is free to students and the public.
The 73-year-old Sherrer received a bachelor’s degree in education from Emporia State in 1963.
After a career in teaching and banking, he served as lieutenant governor from 1996 to 2002, holding the office under Republican Gov. Bill Graves and longer than any other person.
He also served as the state’s commerce secretary.
After leaving the lieutenant governor’s office, he served on the Kansas Board of Regents, which oversees the higher education system, from 2007 to 2011.
