Rosenberg graduated from Penn State in 2004 with a degree in history from the College of the Liberal Arts.
Following this engaging discussion, audience members will have the opportunity to steer the conversation and pose their own questions to Rosenberg during the podcast recording.
The event is free and open to the public.
