Thus, the rest of fall will include emailed reminders and instructions, classes on finding a polling place and understanding ID requirements, and a series of socially distanced forums at which students can discuss the issues that matter most to them.
“Students are going to be coming to these forums, talking about topics that are really important to them,” Lanser tells WCPO. “Topics like racism and white supremacy, student hunger and student homelessness; COVID-19 and health care issues; but also LGBTQ issues. These are all issues our students told us they want to talk about."
