Join us for the annual convening of Newman Civic Fellows to connect with one another, to learn from changemakers working locally and nationally, and to reflect on our common deliberative dialogue project. There will be dedicated time for networking and to learn about internships and post-graduate opportunities.

This is a private event for 2020-2021 Newman Civic Fellows offered at no cost.

 

Offered in partnership with Tufts University’s Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life.
