WDB Lecture Series
Congress to Campus
Former Members of Congress
Monday, January 22, 2024 | 5 PM | Elkins Auditorium
This is a joint event with the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.
For more than 40 years, Congress to Campus, the flagship program of Former Members of Congress (FMC), has provided college students with a unique civic education by engaging them in honest dialogue with bipartisan teams of FMC, Congressional staff, and American diplomats. These dialogues bring today’s issues to the forefront and showcase the benefits of healthy partisanship and civility within disagreement.
Congress to Campus dialogues also provide students with unparalleled insight into careers in public service, including how to run for political office, managing work/life balance on Capitol Hill, and the thrill of debating legislation on the House or Senate floor. Program participants consistently say these sessions gave them a newfound appreciation for the dignity and excitement of public service.
