Moorhead, Minn. – Join the Concordia community as we discuss “Engaged Citizenship” at this year’s Faith, Reason, and World Affairs Symposium, Wednesday, Sept. 21. Most events are held in Memorial Auditorium on campus.

This symposium is designed to engage the campus and local community in conversation and action around democracy and democratic citizenship. We will practice engaged citizenship through interaction with people and ideas that are diverse and relevant to our evolving world as we commit to further understanding about what it means to be an engaged citizen.

Schmidt, political science teaching fellow; Will Kuball, deputy director, Candidate Services MN DFL Senate Caucus; Levi Bachmeier, Republican Party of ND District 13 chair; Rachel Stone, Moorhead School board member and founder of P’s & Q’s Etiquette; and Rep.
