Skeptics Series Begins in September

Past Skeptics speaker David Sokol, Chairman of the Board and CEO of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. (a Midwestern utility owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.) and CEO of NetJets. Mr. Sokol, a past Blair parent, is often mentioned as a likely successor to Warren Buffett at Berkshire.

The public is welcome to attend the weekly Society of Skeptics series, which has been in continuous existence since 1977 and is one of the premier high school lecture series in the country. The series was an outgrowth of the Blair International Society, begun in 1962, and has served as a forum for the discussion and debate of important national and international issues. Over the past 25 years, under the tutelage of Dr. Martin Miller, the weekly lecture series has featured a wide variety of speakers who are engaging, accomplished in their respective fields and often controversial. One thing is certain: they all succeed in generating healthy discussion in the Blair classrooms and around campus.
