The Daily Bruin

Why lead? Why you? Why now? Why not? or better still, “Why Yes”.

It’s not too late to register for this year’s Voices conference! Taking place on our Newberg campus Nov. 17-18, this leadership conference centers on the experiences of multicultural and multiethnic leaders from across the nation, with the purpose of helping students feel equipped and inspired to create change in their community and equipped to use their voice.

Join us under this year’s theme of “Why Yes” as we explore the value of engaging in leadership opportunities and how each of our voices matter in leadership, with a particular lens on empowering diverse representation within leadership on our campus and in our communities.

The conference will include keynote speakers, interactive workshops, worship, student spoken word, and more! Register and find the full schedule here. We look forward to seeing you there!

Ben Bowman is a Democrat in the Oregon State Legislature. Reagan Knopp is a Republican political activist. They disagree … a lot! But they also work together to produce The Oregon Bridge, the best political podcast in the state.

How do they do it? How do they relate to their guests from across the political spectrum? How do they keep the podcast so upbeat and civil? What effect are they trying to have on Oregon politics? How much pushback do they get from people in the two major parties? What can we learn from their experience?
