University Forum Lecture: Letters to the Editor: Writing in Support of Democracy in This Time

Alejandro Lugo, professor emeritus at New Mexico State University, will explore how "Letters to the Editor" can shape public discourse, support a free press, and encourage dialogue on a broad range of pressing topics within and beyond the 'Ivory Tower.'
The event is co-sponsored by the College of Education's Dr. Porter Lee Troutman Jr. Center for Multicultural Education. The University Forum Lecture Series is organized by UNLV's College of Liberal Arts.
