For months he's flown under the radar.

Now John Edwards, the former United States senator and 2004 vice presidential candidate, is coming to Brown University next month.

It appears the speaking engagement is one of only a handful Edwards has made since admitting last year that he had an affair with an employee on his 2008 presidential campaign.

His speech will be entitled "Beautiful America," though no further details about the talk are available.

The lecture, sponsored by the Brown University Lecture Board, a student-run organization, will be at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, in the DeCiccio Auditorium at the Salomon Center for Teaching. Tickets will be open to students, faculty and staff on a first-come, first-serve basis. Space permitting, the event will also open to the public that night. Doors open at 7:15 p.m.
