    Event Details:
    Bob Woodruff joined ABC News in 1996 and has covered major stories throughout the country and around the world for the network. He was named co-anchor of ABC’s "World News Tonight" in December 2005. On January 29, 2006, while reporting on U.S. and Iraqi security forces, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq. Woodruff is back at work reporting for ABC News shows on a variety of international and national stories with his “Bob Woodruff Reports” unit. He has continued to cover stories that focus attention on the needs of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

    Lee Woodruff is a contributing editor for ABC’s Good Morning America. A freelance writer, Woodruff has penned numerous personal articles about her family and parenting that have run in such high-profile magazines as Health, Redbook, Country Living, Parade, and Family Fun.

    The Woodruff’s book, "In an Instant: A Family’s Journey of Love, Courage, and Healing," documents their family’s journey to recovery following Bob’s roadside bomb injury.

    Proceeds from the Speaker Series benefit the Penn State Altoona Future Fund, which provides funds for programs that enrich academic and cultural life on campus and in the community. This fund also may be used by the administration to offer emergency scholarship assistance to students who are experiencing a financial crisis.
