The American Democracy Project at SUNY Brockport is sponsoring a series of town meetings to continue the discussions started by the Spring Colloquium. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate.

The Goals of the Town Meetings Are:

  1. To deepen discussion of strategic opportunities to incorporate themes of the American Democracy Project throughout the University.
  2. To articulate specific areas for targeted planning and implementation.
  3. To identify a steering committee.
