(CNN) - Sen. Rand Paul will join his former GOP rival on stage in an appearance at Harvard University later this month.
Harvard's Institute of Politics announced Friday that Trey Grayson, the institute's director and Paul's opponent in Kentucky's GOP primary for the 2010 Senate race, will introduce Paul and then moderate a Q&A session with the potential presidential contender.
Grayson, who became the institute's director in 2011, told CNN he considers Paul "the most compelling figure in the Republican Party right now." He said he's wanted Paul to speak at the institute for a few years but scheduling issues have gotten in the way.
"I'm kind of glad it's taken a while to make the schedule work," he said. "The reality is he's more of an interesting speaker today than he would have been two years ago."
Paul will be free to speak about whatever he wants, Grayson said.
The April 25th event will come a little more than a month after Paul's speech at the University of California at Berkeley, a liberal-leaning institution that's not a typical stop for Republican politicians.
Grayson said he's been "pleased at how (Paul) reaches out to groups that aren't part of the traditional Republican coalition" and argued "he does a great job of appealing to young voters."
Also of note, Republican Sen. John McCain, who's publicly sparred with Paul in the past, will speak at the institute two days before Paul.
Grayson was considered the early-on favorite in the 2010 Kentucky GOP primary, and enjoyed the backing of Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. But Paul, boosted with strong tea party support, defeated the then-secretary of state. Grayson went on to endorse Paul in the general election.
While Grayson was complimentary of Paul on Friday, he said the two don't see or speak to each other very often and he described their relationship as "fine."

Rand Paul is not afraid of upsetting apple carts, though whether more for general attention or for direct results has not always been clear. His attacks on Bill Clinton, however, suggest there is more than just a bit of shrewdness to his actions. Bills indiscretions play well with Pauls base, and conflating the two Clintons may work against Hillary later while helping Paul now, pre-primary.
Cumulatively, my concern with Paul as a prospective president stems from his seeming lack of perspective. His international policy appears to be more simply isolationist than truly informed, and his small government predilection a real threat to our social safety net.
On the other hand, at times, I find Rand Paul both refreshing and entertaining. As a 2016 presidential candidate, however, he concerns me. I dont believe that he has the gravitas for the job, neither the temperament nor the vision. I see his role more as a guardian of our liberty than as a guide for it. Perhaps the primary race will sufficiently season him; perhaps not.

Paul notably supports the states applying for an amendment convention under Article V, U.S.C. for the purpose of amending the Constitution. Particularly, he supports term limits (37 States impose term limits on State officials) and a balanced budget (49 States impose a balanced budget). Paul believes the federal government should be constitutionally bound in the same manner that the states are, and he knows the states have the capability of requiring this in the Constitution.
Paul appeals to Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Libertarians alike, which is exactly what America needs in 2016 to move federal politics in a positive direction for states and people.
