Join the Office of Student Success, Leadership, and Engagement in the Gladhill Boardroom in the Health Sciences and Human Services Library on Monday, Oct. 27, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. for the kickoff of this year’s President’s Symposium and White Paper Project.
The project’s 2025 faculty advisor, professor Max Stearns, JD, of the Francis King Carey School of Law, will deliver a talk titled “Fixing America’s Broken Democracy: The Case for Parliamentary America.”
Drawing from his recent book, “Parliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy,” Professor Stearns will explore how structural reform could strengthen U.S. democracy and invite us to consider how the University of Maryland, Baltimore might contribute to advancing graduate-level civic education in service of democracy.
All students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend and take part in this important conversation. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided.
