East Stroudsburg University’s (ESU) political science department and political science club will be co-hosting a youth and political participation event this Thursday, April 14, at 5 p.m. in the University Center’s Senate Chambers.<\/p>\n
John P. Blake, state senator of the 22nd Senatorial District of Pennsylvania and ESU\u2019s 2015-2016 legislative fellow, is the event’s keynote speaker. Senator Blake will lead a conversation pertaining to political participation and civic engagement.<\/p>\n
“I thought it would be a great idea to have the legislative fellow give a university-wide lecture,” Kimberly Adams, Ph.D., professor of political science, said. “It will help our students have a better understanding of the legislative process and pertinent political issues.”<\/p>\n
Dr. Adams has been organizing lectures by political figures for several years.<\/p>\n
“I hope that Senator Blake can help inspire our students to vote in the primaries,” she said.<\/p>\n
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. Adams at 570-422-3924.<\/p>\n
“These are exciting times politically,” said Adams. “Voters are passionate and much of this excitement is coming from our youth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
