Our second event of the year is on the election: we will discuss the presidential candidates’ plans and policies.

Across the Aisle (a CCC Initiative) is about learning to disagree while remaining friends, colleagues, classmates, and fellow citizens. Small groups of participants with different views will discuss pre-selected, hot-button topics of social and political significance. This is an opportunity to learn how the other side thinks and to develop the tools to respond with civility, charity, and grace. Lunch and guidance on respectful discussion norms will be provided. The student leadership team and Professor Mihailis Diamantis (mihailis-diamantis@uiowa.edu) facilitate the event.
