The Daily Bruin

Remember: Wednesday, Feb. 26, is your chance to hear Newberg Mayor Bill Rosacker’s conversation with George Fox’s own Rick Muthiah on the topic “Trump So Far: Good, Bad or Indifferent?”

Bill and Rick will continue a conversation they began in January about their different views of the new Trump administration’s actions. Then attenders, sitting in small groups at tables, will have their own versions of this conversation.

Come to see if the people at your table can hear each other, learn to summarize each other’s views accurately and fairly, and build stronger personal connections across political differences.

The event will be in Canyon Commons from 7 to 8:45 p.m. For more information, contact Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu.
