Renown author to address graduates
Best-selling author Ken Follett will visit SVSU as the keynote speaker for fall commencement.
Ken Follett was born to humble origins in Cardiff, Wales on June 5, 1949. His father, who was a tax inspector in postwar Europe, was not able to provide much beyond the basic necessities. This lack of luxury allowed the young Follett to develop a powerful imagination. Moving to London at the age of 10, he entered the public school system and graduated from the University College London in 1970. He began his writing career using pen names in a variety of genres including screen plays, journalism, children's books, and novels. Follett moved onto the national scene with the publishing of his first best-selling thriller Eye of the Needle in 1978. »
