Shaquel Marshall Attends Newseum Conference in Washington D.C.

2017 Sep 26

Shaquel Marshall is one of 13 Lebanon Valley College students who attended a conference at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., "How Will Public Discussion Thrive?" in September 2017. Marshall, a graduate of Western High School, is pursuing a bachelor of arts in global studies and sociology at The Valley.

The Interactivity Foundation celebrated its 30th birthday by hosting a montage of small group round table discussions about the future of public discussion during this event. Themes centered around these questions: What's the future of public discussion in this time of political polarization, harsh rhetoric, fake news, and spin? What policy possibilities might help revitalize it? And what actions might we take to implement them?

By attending the conference, LVC students were able to experience first-hand some of the discussion styles utilized in their courses.
