Students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in this dialogue on Monday, Feb. 23 at 4:30 p.m. in Lakeside 212
The Active Citizen Series is hosting the Deliberative Dialogue – America’s Next 250: What’s Next America? on Monday, February 23 at 4:30pm in Lakeside 212. A Deliberative Dialogue is an opportunity for students, staff and faculty to gather and exchange diverse views and experiences to seek a shared understanding of a challenge facing our society and to search for common ground for action.
2026 marks America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This dialogue is one of many that will take place across the country this year, and is designed to bring people together to reflect on the past and discuss what kind of future we want to create for generations to come. Many Americans believe that the time is right for conversations that connect people who might not usually interact, conversations that will encourage fresh, innovative thinking and actions to emerge. Join this dialogue to help script the next 250 years of the United States.
