We kicked off this semester’s What’s Going On?! series with an engaging conversation on Immigration and Birthright Citizenship.

A huge thank you to Abigail Stepnitz, PhD, from Political Science and International Relations and Victor Carmona, PhD, from for leading a timely, thought provoking discussion. It was great to see such a strong turnout, and the evening concluded with insightful questions and conversation during the Q&A.

Join us every Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the Humanities Center in Saints Tekakwitha and Serra Hall, Room 200, as we explore the issues shaping our world today.

Plus, students can earn Compass Points at every What’s Going On?! event.

Jessica Tarlov, prominent political strategist for the Democratic Party and the only liberal co-host of “The Five" on Fox News, will be on campus to discuss her book, “I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends” in conversation with Jillian Tullis, PhD (Communication).

She recently said on her podcast, Raging Moderates, that one of the reasons she wrote this book was because of the change she saw on college campuses right after the 2024 election - students were questioning how to be in the current political climate and still stay true to their values. The book is part memoir and part “how to”. At the end of each chapter, she gives talking points.
