(The Hill) — Turning Point USA is continuing the college tour its late founder Charlie Kirk began, with conservative figures set to appear on campuses across the country.

The tour was scheduled to restart on Monday at the University of Minnesota, the organization had announced. Conservative commentator Michael Knowles was the scheduled host of the event. 

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 on the campus of Utah Valley University, his first stop of what was called “The American Comeback Tour.” The conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder is survived by his wife, Erika Kirk, and two children. 

Erika Kirk was unanimously elected as the organization’s new CEO by its board of directors last Thursday. She is listed as one of the tour’s speakers on Turning Point USA’s website, but the location and date of her appearances are yet to be announced. 

After its stop in Minnesota, the tour was set to make previously planned stops at Utah State University, Montana State University, the University of North Dakota, Indiana University Bloomington, Louisiana State University and the University of Mississippi. It will make additional stops at Virginia Tech, the University of Oklahoma, Auburn University and the University of California, Berkeley, where the tour will conclude on Nov. 10.

In addition to Knowles and Erika Kirk, speakers will include Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), Turning Point USA contributor Alex Clark, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Ut.), Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Az.), former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Ut.), Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R), Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R), conservative commentators Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson and Allie Beth Stuckey, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R), comedian Rob Schneider and Christian author Frank Turek. 

On Sunday, Charlie Kirk’s memorial took place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., the home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. Speakers included Erika Kirk, Carlson, Turek, President Trump, Vice President Vance and members of the administration.
