Interested in politics? Do you have opinions on income inequality, immigration and legislating morality? Have you wondered about the future of the political right post 2016? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, join us Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15-16, for a free weekend of conversation, debate, professional development and delicious food.

Students will be invited to ask questions, discuss presentations and debate these issues with speakers and with each other. The conference will conclude with representatives from four major conservative and libertarian organizations describing programs, internships and scholarships they offer that can help college students jumpstart their careers.
You do NOT have to be a conservative or libertarian to come to this event, and students and employees from all backgrounds and perspectives are welcome. We invite participants to enter into a robust but polite dialogue about these important issues as we look to the future.

Many of you may have noticed a layer of ash on your cars over the past couple days. This is related to the Oregon wildfires that are currently burning throughout the state. As a result, the air quality in this region is poor (especially for those with lung conditions such as asthma). It is recommended to avoid or exercise caution when exercising outside until conditions clear.
If you have questions or need to speak with a health care professional about concerns, please contact the university’s Health and Counseling Center at 503-554-2340.
