Public policy forum sponsored by USI Honors Program
|
The USI Honors Program will present the seventh annual public policy forum at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 7, 2004 in Mitchell Auditorium in the Health Professions Center at University of Southern Indiana. This year’s topic is “Examining Health Care: What’s the Public’s Prescription?” Students in HONS 101: Issues for the 21st Century, have been considering this issue this semester and will lead deliberation on the topic in the forum, which is free and open to the public. A deliberative forum is not a debate, but rather a moderated discussion where the participants (the audience) work toward making choices involving the public policy issue. During the forum, students will consider how participants can act on the problem and what policy they think is best for our community. Students will weigh the costs and consequences of various options and what the participants are or are not willing to do in addressing this issue. The USI Honors Program offers enhanced opportunities to students who show promise of outstanding academic achievement, to develop verbal and written communication skills, critical thinking, and investigative learning. Dr. Dane Partridge, associate professor of management, is the director of the Honors Program. |
