He obtained an undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University, an M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, and a J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law.

Santorum was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district in 1990. He was elected as a United States Senator for Pennsylvania in 1994 and served there until losing his re-election bid in 2006.

The event is open to the public.
