One week before Election Day, The University of Toledo will explore opinions from millennials surrounding voting and democracy in the latest installment of the Dialogues on Diversity series.<\/p>\n
The event titled \u201cDoes Your Vote Really Count?\u201d will take place Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 6 p.m. in the Student Union Room 2582.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not a debate about which candidate is best,\u201d said Anna Crisp, a student trustee appointed to the UT Board of Trustees who is studying public health. \u201cWe will discuss important questions at this diversity dialogue. Are you voting in the upcoming presidential election? Does your vote make a difference? Or do you believe it is a waste of time and energy? It\u2019s an opportunity for students to share their opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Free food and prizes will be available at the dialogue hosted by UT Student Government and the University\u2019s Office for Diversity and Inclusion. UT students, faculty and staff are invited.<\/p>\n
Student leaders will begin the program by leading a panel discussion with experts on the democratic process. They will then engage in a discussion with the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to hear from students, faculty and staff,\u201d said Dr. Willie McKether, UT vice president for diversity and inclusion. \u201cThis is an opportunity to engage our community on the important subjects of voting relevance, its history and its future.\u201d<\/p>\n
