SUMMARY:MC Presidential Dialogue Series
DESCRIPTION:Who: Neel Saxena\, Executive Director at Asian American LEAD\nImam Yahya Hendi\, Muslim Chaplain\, Georgetown University \nWhen: Monday\, May 8\, 2017 7 PM \nWhere: Germantown Campus\nBioscience Education Center\, 151-152\n20200 Observation Drive\nGermantown\, Maryland 20876 \nDescription: Civil discourse is a practice that strengthens civil society because it opens lines of contact and communication\, and builds relationships.  In the wake a year marked by public incivility in politics\, strained relationships in law enforcement\, and violence that has planted suspicion across racial difference\, more than ever our communities need to build bridges of understanding.  A series of conversations led by MC President DeRionne Pollard will attempt to do that.  The series will invite three experts in their fields\, to provoke dialogue that is inclusive\, intelligent\, and civil. By welcoming community members\, students\, faculty\, staff and elected officials\, we invite all interested participants to join our engagement efforts to challenge misperceptions\, interrogate contradictions\, and explore solutions to community problems that respect all parties.   \nProposed Invitees: College community; local community members; co-sponsors’ contacts; MCPS folks; donors
