National peace lobbyist visits campus Oct. 21

The university community is invited to hear Diane Randall, executive secretary of the Friends Committee on National Legislation – the largest team of registered peace lobbyists in Washington, D.C. – present a free lecture from 7 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, in EHS 102.

Randall will speak on “The Privilege and Responsibility of Faithful Citizenship.” Her visit is being sponsored by George Fox’s Center for Peace and Justice.

Randall’s background includes many years as an executive director of statewide advocacy organizations, a passion for rebuilding the democratic system in our country, a record of achievements in lobbying and citizen engagement, and a spiritual grounding in the Religious Society of Friends.

In addition to her evening presentation, Randall will lecture in an 11:40 a.m. political science class in Hoover 103 and again at 1:40 p.m. in a philosophy class in Stevens 209. She also will introduce the FCNL internship program to interested students during lunch beginning at 12:35 p.m. in the Klages Dining Hall.
