Sen. Sanders: how many students are concerned about Al negatively affecting their lives?

GU Politics hosted a conversation last night with two former directors of the DOJ Office of Public Affairs on the politicization of the Justice Department, the role it plays in our democracy, and the precedent recent indictments are setting.

Coffee Chats are a great way to network and learn about new opportunities. But no one ever really tells you how to navigate the details. Come drink some coffee and hear advice from Helen Brosnan (C'16), National Political Director for UAW. No sign-ups required; just show up!
