Informed Civic Engagement: Discerning Fact from Fiction, Cutting through the Rhetoric, and Understanding the Value of our Differences
Each year TESU celebrates its ascension to University status on Dec 1, the date of our official name change from college to university in 2015.
In response to a university’s charge to promote dialogue, open minds and critical thinkers, University Day provides TESU with an opportunity to take a deep dive into issues that affect the crossroads between society and higher education. This year we will discuss the need for informed civic engagement and how we might navigate an environment seemingly poised to create conflict and foster division, especially across partisan lines.
Dr. Malcolm Oliver, Dean of the TESU John S. Watson School of Public Service will moderate the conversation between Anthony “Skip” Cimino, former Executive Director, NJ General Assembly, Kevin Drennan, former Executive Director, NJ Senate, and Dr. Tara Kent, Associate Dean and Director of Undergraduate Studies at TESU. The discussion will center on the need for public officials to work across the aisle to effectively solve problems, and the tools that are being used to train the next generation of public administrators to operate within this highly fragmented political environment.
