Salem State University’s Center for Civic Engagement has planned numerous events centered around the 2018 Elections including panel discussions on the three ballot questions.
These discussions are part of a larger initiative titled Your Voice, Your Vote: Election 2018 and subtitled, What’s at Stake? Our Rights, Our Liberties Film, Speaker and Engagement Series.
The Center for Civic Engagement is the nexus for community-based initiatives and civically-engaged learning at Salem State University. Established as part of the university’s strategic plan to promote civic engagement, social justice and connection to place, it is responsible for developing and supporting programs that connect students, faculty, staff, and alumni to the greater community. Through reciprocal collaborations designed to address public issues and enhance academic learning, the center promotes the importance of community involvement and the privileges and responsibilities inherent in civic participation.
Below is a list of ballot question panel discussions open to the media and public. A full list of events can be found at salemstate.edu/yourvoiceyourvote.
