On Wednesday, Feb. 27, former White House Press Secretary and the real-life inspiration for Olivia Pope, Judy Smith, will be speaking at the University of Central Florida.
After leaving the White House staff, Smith started Smith & Company, a consulting firm specializing in crisis management and media relations. Her firm has advised such notable people as Monica Lewinski, actor Wesley Snipes , and NFL quarterback Michael Vick. Kerry Washington plays the lead role on ABC’s hit TC show ‘Scandal,’ which is inspired by Smith’s life.
Smith will be speaking at 6 p.m. in the Pegasus Ballroom and will be conducting a meet and greet and answering questions afterwards.
