Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak will speak at Kansas University’s Lied Center in November, the KU School of Business announced Thursday.

Wozniak, who is best known for founding Apple alongside Steve Jobs in 1976, will deliver the business school’s Anderson Chandler Lecture at 11 a.m. on Nov. 20 at the Lied Center. The event will be a partnership with KU’s Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week.

Since leaving Apple in 1985, Wozniak has stayed involved in the computing industry and is currently the chief scientist at Primary Data. He received the National Medal of Technology in 1985 and was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame in 2000. His wife, Janet Wozniak, is a Baldwin City native and Baker University alumna who earned a master’s degree in education at KU.

Previous Chandler lectures featured Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, FBI agent and KU School of Business alumnus Robert Herndon, and former Kansas Gov. Bill Graves.
