By Dave Larsen | Monday, August 31, 2009, 01:41 PM

Ted Rall, a nationally syndicated political cartoonist and former Kettering resident, will be among the featured speakers in Wright State University’s 2009-2010 Presidential Lecture Series.

Rall is a 1981 graduate of Fairmont West High School whose first cartoons were published in the Kettering-Oakwood Times, according to his Web site. His panel-style political cartoons now appear in more than 100 U.S. newspapers, including the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.

Rall is president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. His honors include the 2000 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. He will speak at Wright State on May 3, 2010.

Other speakers in the Presidential Lecture Series include Greg LeMond, the first American to win the Tour de France; bestselling authors Greg Mortenson (“Three Cups of Tea”) and Frans Johansson (“The Medici Effect”); and James Fallows, China-based correspondent for The Atlantic.
