In this age of contentious political rhetoric, social media reaction and intensity of emotion, is there room for civility and collegial debate? Can a Holy Cross education be a beacon of light in today's politics?
Alumni, students, parents and friends are invited to join us for a 2-part webinar series this fall that will explore Election 2020 through a Holy Cross lens. Rooted in the College's mission and values, this interactive, balanced series will model productive political debate across a variety of perspectives and experiences.
Sign up for one (or both!) of these Zoom webinar events. All are welcome!
