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, we invite you to participate in “Life Together: A Community Conversation for Election Season and Beyond” on October 22 in the Goldstein Auditorium of the Shine Student Center of Syracuse University. 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.” This initiative is led by Vice President for Civic Engagement and Education Gretchen Ritter; Margaret Talev, Kramer Director of the Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship; and Tina Nabatchi, director of PARCC. It aims to enhance the civic skills of our campus community in areas such as listening, advocacy, critical reasoning and advancing the common good.
