Scripps Presents, Scripps College’s signature public events series, is proud to launch its fall 2024 season with notable figures across entertainment, sports, academia, politics, and beyond. In addition to the popular @Noon lunchtime events, this year’s program includes new mini-series devoted to fine arts and live performances.

Join us this season as we feature CNN political commentator Van Jones discussing the 2024 presidential election; two-time Olympian and tennis champion Andy Roddick sharing insights on athlete mental wellness; stand-up comedy from Emmy-nominated actor Janelle James (Abbott Elementary); an exploration of unity and political tensions from The New York Times chief political analyst Nate Cohn and Michael Barbaro (The Daily); music from award-winning Broadway producer Michael Alden; and a conversation on Indigenous and immigrant climate activism with United Nations High-Level Champion and Re-Earth cofounder Xiye Bastida.
