Nexus @ Noon event May 9
Nexus @ Noon is where students, faculty, and staff converge to explore today's most pressing political issues. True to the meaning of "nexus"—a connection linking multiple points—this series will be a dynamic space for questioning, discussing, and researching political developments at local, state, federal, and global levels. With no set agenda, each session will be guided by the questions and interests of attendees, alongside insights from the Chair of the Department of Politics and special guests. Whether participants are attending to ask, learn, or contribute, Nexus @ Noon is where they can learn more about the complexities of current events in real time! Join us for the third event (see attached flyer):
- May 9 in LIB 002 (basement level), 12-1pm
Questions? Email Politics Department Chair Dr. Joice Chang at joice.chang@humboldt.edu. Refreshments provided.
