Join us for the Spring 2017 Campus Update #1: Why do we value Free Speech? Fri., April 14

April 9, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Join us on Friday, April 14 in the PUB’s Main Dining Room (#9215) from 1:30-3:30 p.m. for a conversation (entitled Why do we value Free Speech?) with the ACLU of Washington’s Deputy Director Michele Storms related to the issue of First Amendment rights on college campuses.

Join this interactive conversation about how we express our ideas in a diverse society and what it means to disagree and live in community. Some questions we will consider are:

  • What does it mean to speak out when our ideas and expressions clash?
  • How do we function as a society when we don’t agree?

Come explore ways to address the challenges of living together in the face of differences in expression and ideas.

Information on the Spring 2017 Campus Update #1 was first announced on the April 3, 2017 Spring Message from President Roberts.

The April 14 Campus Update will be recorded and the link to the video provided after closed captioning is completed.

From the Human Resources Office:  If you are planning to attend the Campus Update in person, please abstain from wearing personal care products (including hair products, perfume or cologne) containing chemicals or fragrances that might impact individuals with chemical sensitivities.
