Educate Yourself: 2004

Educate Yourself: 2004 is a completely student-planned series of forums at Washington University in St. Louis. Organized by members of various student groups, the goal of the series is to provide a forum for discussion of the big election issues of the year. Local specialists, University professors, and national experts will share their expertise with attendees.

Forums will begin on September 7th with a discussion of foreign policy and homeland security and will occur every subsequent Monday right up until November 1st. Each week's forum will occur at 4:45 in Rebstock 215 on the University's Hilltop campus and will discuss varying issues. Panelists will begin each forum with a brief discussion of what they see as the major issues and will then open the field up to audience questions. For more information, visit the Educate Yourself: 2004 Web site.
