Smithsonian Associates Presents A Conversation with Katie Couric

For using her voice to begin and amplify important discussions about a spectrum of issues that touch American lives, Katie Couric is the 2019 recipient of the John P. McGovern Award presented by Smithsonian Associates.
The award presentation on November 12, 2019 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History highlighted an evening in which Couric spoke with April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and CNN political analyst, about her career and the causes she supports.
The award, established by an endowment to the Smithsonian by noted physician, educator, author, and philanthropist John P. McGovern, provides a platform to address issues of national and global importance that bridge the sciences and humanities.
For more than 50 years, Smithsonian Associates-the largest museum-based education program in the world-has produced vibrant educational and cultural programming that brings the Smithsonian to life. Inspired by the Smithsonian’s research, collections and exhibitions, each year nearly 1,000 public programs spark creativity and excite learning in people of all ages.
