HOUGHTON -- When President John F. Kennedy famously urged Americans in 1961 to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," he issued a challenge that many still struggle to answer today. Join Lindsey Cormack for a candid breakdown of what constitutional democracy asks of us on at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts on the Michigan Tech campus.
According to a press release from MTU Voter Engagement Coalition, amid rising political polarization and congressional chaos, it's easy to feel disconnected from our political system. Lindsay Cormack, associate professor of political science at Stevens Institute of Technology, and contributor to the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News, and author of How to Raise a Citizen, draws on her work in civic education, congressional history, and political communication to help audiences look past the daily noise. Her presentation offers a practical roadmap for taking an active role in strengthening our public institutions and shaping the future for the next generation.
This lecture is partially funded by the Visiting Professor Program which is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Michigan’s King-Chávez-Parks Initiative. It is also a part of the Van Evera Distinguished Lecture Series through the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts with additional sponsorship through the League of Women Voters of the Copper Country and Michigan Tech Huskies Vote.
This event is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
