Why Engaged Citizenship Matters **Panorama
Wednesday, October 16, 7pm, Great Hall of Holloway Hall
PACE INFORMED AND ENGAGED LECTURE: Paul Loeb’s books like The Impossible Will Take a Little While, and Soul of a Citizen have 350,000 copies in print. His nonpartisan Campus Election Engagement Project engages schools nationwide. Paul will speak about how ordinary citizens can make their voices heard and actions count in a time when we're told neither matter. Paul provides inspiration and support for moving beyond relentless self-interest and making a difference even in a seemingly broken political system. Learn how people get involved in larger community issues and what stops them from getting involved; how they burn out in exhaustion or maintain their commitment for the long haul; how involvement can give them a sense of connection and purpose rare in purely personal life.
