UC Hosts Roundtable With Senator Brown
The University of Cincinnati will host United States Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) at a roundtable discussion on education from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1, in Room 407 Teachers College.
The event is one in a series of roundtables in which Brown has participated across the state. Many of the legislative initiatives he has pursued in Washington have originated from roundtable discussions with Ohioans.
Our session will focus on the challenges of a systemic approach to education that views preschool through career as a unified system, said UC President Nancy Zimpher. We will also focus on the unique challenges of urban centers. Our hope is to give Senator Brown a view of the issues facing us and ways we can create a more unified system of education to better serve the citizens of Ohio.
Following opening comments by the senator, UC will present a panel discussion on The Need for a Systemic Approach to Education, led by Larry Johnson, dean of UCs College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services, followed by discussion with the audience.
The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are necessary because seating is limited. To reserve a space, contact Mary Norwood of UCs Office of Governmental Relations & University Communications at mary.norwood@uc.edu or 513-556-3028. Parking will be free to participants.
