SALZBURG, Austria.— Justice Anthony Kennedy, considered by The Washington Post to be the U.S. Supreme Court’s “most important justice” for his swing role on the Court’s 5-4 decisions, will open the first Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change here with a speech to students, faculty and official guests on Sunday, July 29th.

The Salzburg Academy is a new initiative of the University of Maryland’s Philip Merrill College of Journalism and the Salzburg Global Seminar, a non-profit think-tank based at the Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg, Austria. The three-week program is designed to bring together top undergraduate and graduate students from around the world with a global faculty to study and live at the world-renowned Schloss, an historic center of the arts and scholarship and home to the Von Trapp family in The Sound of Music.
