All events will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Alumnae Hall in the Haehn Campus Center on the CSB campus. The events are free and open to the public.

This series will provide principles, ethical values and dialogue from different faith perspectives, which can help inform and form individual conscience to make an educated decision during the election process and beyond.
