EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

DATE: 4 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014

EVENT: The candidates for Regent of the University of Michigan have been invited to participate in a 75-minute forum. Susan Smith, president of the League of Women Voters of Michigan, will moderate the discussion.

Candidate questions will be posed by the League and students at the Ford School of Public Policy. The format will allow for questions from the audience; it is not a debate.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The event is free and open to the public. Join the conversation: #regentsforum
This event will be live webstreamed at www.fordschool.umich.edu.
