Democracy isn’t just something we study, it’s something we show up for.

Our Voting Rights Discussion brought together powerful voices and meaningful conversation around civic engagement and access.

Thank you to our speakers and community for making this space thoughtful, honest, and impactful.

Art that makes you pause, question, and feel. “Displays of Democracy” is still up at the Owens Fine Arts Center, but only until tomorrow.

From intimate pieces to bold statements for Arts Fest, this exhibition brings together student voices exploring what democracy looks like today.
