Democracy Conference

Thank you to everyone who attended the Chiesman Democracy Conference! The program featured nearly 20 speakers, including student and faculty researchers, a panel of six current state legislators, keynote speaker Dr. Lisa Bryant of Fresno State University and Andrew Carnegie Fellow, and speakers from the BOR, Rotary Club, and SD News Watch.

We hosted well over 100 attendees throughout the day. We were especially excited to welcome former US Senator Larry Pressler, former gubernatorial & congressional candidates, students and faculty from SDSU and across our campus, and civic leaders and policy makers from across the state.
