School of Civic Life and Leadership "Is Democracy on the Ballot this November?"
On behalf of the School of Civic Life and Leadership, join us on 9/27 at Wilson Library for our inaugural public event: a day-long symposium on the topic: “Is Democracy on the Ballot this November?” Beginning with a welcome from Chancellor Lee H. Roberts, we will convene a series of panels featuring nationally distinguished public intellectuals from across the political spectrum and representing a diverse range of approaches and views in relation to this fraught, deeply consequential question. Because we believe the Carolina community has much to contribute on this topic and much to gain by discussing it thoughtfully together, there will be ample time throughout the day for questions and conversation. Please drop in and out as your schedule allows and please consider publicizing the event to your colleagues and to students, who can receive CLE credit for each panel they attend. We look forward to welcoming you!
