Her visit to the university comes at a crucial time as the presidential race is intensifying, and candidates are ramping up their campaign efforts.

Marianne Williamson’s Political Journey

Williamson is known for her bestselling books and as a spiritual advisor to Oprah Winfrey, but her venture into politics has gained a lot of attention. Her 2020 campaign gained significant media coverage for its focus on moral and spiritual topics, a different approach compared to traditional political themes. Her unique brand of spiritual politics has garnered her both followers and critics alike.

Inviting Candidates to the Winthrop University

Winthrop University’s Presidential Elections Committee has a long-standing tradition of inviting presidential candidates to visit the campus during election seasons.
