Thank you for reaching out with this invitation. I work in Administrator Pruitt's office along with Millan Hupp, copied here. I believe the two o f you connected earlier this year in regards to this event and unfortunately we w eren't able to make it work with his schedule. We would love to explore the opportunity to have him visit in the spring.
Could you please complete the attached form with as much detail as you can? This will help in getting a better understanding. We will then want to set up a call with you to hear more details about how these work.
Thank you and we appreciate the invitation!

Good Afternoon,
I hope you're doing well. My name is Ashley Lison and I am the Executive Director o f Convocation here at Liberty University. Liberty is the largest university in Virginia, and hosts the largest weekly gathering o f young adults in the world: 12,000+ students residentially, and over 90,000 online via our live stream. Our Convocations often garner local and national media attention, as well as millions o f views on social

media.
Last year, I spoke with Michelle (see below) about hosting the Administrator at Convocation, but unfortunately we were never able to confirm a date. We are currently booking for Spring o f 2018, and we would love to solidify a date for the Administrator to join us!
I'm not sure how familiar you are with our school, but our Convocation serves as a platform for ideas where individuals from all walks o f life inform, inspire and engage college students. Our guest list is quite diverse ranging from TV personalities to Ted talk speakers, missionaries and pastors, Grammy award winners, world class athletes, political leaders, artists etc. Some o f our guests this year have included: Steph Curry o f the Golden State Warriors, Brian Littrell o f the Backstreet Boys, Olympian Simone Biles, soccer legend Kaka, political leaders like Donald Trump, Bemie Sanders & Gary Johnson, comedians like Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy and many more.
Please let me know what we can do to make this partnership happen!
Thank you,

Good Afternoon Michelle,
I hope you're doing well. My name is Ashley Lison and I am the Director of Convocation at Liberty University. I understand that you spoke with my assistant Alyssa Kidder this afternoon regarding AG Pruitt joining us at Convocation in the Spring! We're so excited about this possibility and would love to add him to the Spring schedule press release which will be sent out tomorrow or Monday. Would it be possible to firm up a date that would work with his schedule before or after his confirmation hearing?
Thank you,
Ashley O. Lison
