Soul of a Citizen; Hope in a Time of Fear

Thursday, March 13, 2008
4:30 p.m. Mead Chapel

How can you make your voice heard and your actions count? Based on his award-winning books on civic engagement (The Soul of a Citizen, The Impossible Will Take a Little While, and Generation at the Crossroads), Paul Rogat Loeb explores how to act on our deepest beliefs-and make a difference despite all the obstacles. He describes what gets people -- especially students -- involved in working for change; how community involvement can give us a powerful sense of connection and purpose; and how we can avoid burning out in exhaustion, and keep on for the long haul.
