Congress to Campus

Congress to Campus programming will be held Monday, October 7–Tuesday, October 8 at various times and locations on the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Campus.

Congress to Campus, a prestigious program in which ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ has participated since 2005, is sponsored by the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress (FMC). This program offers college students a unique civic education opportunity by engaging them in honest dialogue with bipartisan teams of Former Members of Congress. We're pleased to announce that Val Demings (D-FL) and Dennis Ross (R-FL) will visit ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ to participate in a series of American Democracy Project events, to visit classrooms, and engage with students across the campus in informal settings.
