Do you care about the future of democracy, civic engagement and civil dialogue? Do you believe our campus community would benefit from meaningful, constructive and respectful conversations on important issues facing society, including those that are relevant to the upcoming presidential election? If so, you are invited to participate in on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in the Goldstein Auditorium, Schine Student Center. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. for dinner. Program will begin at 6:30 p.m.

This dialogue-driven event is designed not to make participants agree, but to alter the way we disagree, so we can live better together as learners and leaders.

This event is the first in a new series called “Life Together: Seeking the Common Good in a Diverse Democracy.” The initiative is led by Gretchen Ritter, vice president for civic engagement and education; Margaret Talev, Kramer Director of the Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship; and Tina Nabatchi, director of the Maxwell School’s Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC). It aims to enhance the civic skills of our campus community in such areas as listening, advocacy, critical reasoning and advancing the common good.

Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) and American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation will be available.
