Manhattan ? U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius returns to Kansas next month to speak at Kansas State University.

The Democratic former governor will give the first Landon Lecture of the current academic year Nov. 29 at McCain Auditorium.

The lecture series is named for the late Kansas Gov. Alf Landon and brings speakers of national and international stature to the Manhattan campus each year.

Sebelius served two terms as Kansas’ elected insurance commissioner before winning the governor’s race in 2002.
