The Prindle Institute is excited to welcome Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black, to campus in February as part of the Ubben Lecture series. Stay tuned for programming that we are putting together to lead up to her visit!

“Piper Kerman — whose experience behind bars is the basis of a bestselling memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Woman’s Prison, as well as a hit Netflix series — is coming to DePauw University to present a Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture. Kerman will discuss “Lessons Learned Behind Bars” on Wednesday, February 4, 2015, at 7:30 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium, located within DePauw’s Green Center for the Performing Arts (605 S.
