Join fellow Ford School and University of Michigan students, faculty, and staff for lunch and conversation two days after the November 3 midterm elections. Whatever you're thinking after the results, there's a seat for you here. This is a space to listen, share, and look ahead together.

Grab lunch in the Great Hall starting at 11:20 a.m., then head into Annenberg Auditorium for a conversation with Ford School faculty and peers. There will be a guided discussion with moments of open mic for you to weigh in, and you'll leave with a sharper sense of what the results mean for policy and what to watch in the months ahead.

This is an in-person, U-M community-only event. It's not open to the public and will not be livestreamed.

Hosted in partnership by the Ford School and the Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment. 
RSVPs appreciated for planning, but registration is not required.
