PACE PRESENTS

Part of the Democracy Across the
Disciplines Lecture Series

Join PACE, the Clarke Honors College, Fulton Sustainability Committee, Interdisciplinary Studies, and RCE Salisbury for a year long exploration of local issues and their possible solutions. The program situates each issue within the broader framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This fall we explore three institutions that impact and shape our lives: Schools, Housing systems, and Prisons. Each institution will be the focus of four sessions held on consecutive Monday evenings from 7-8:30 pm in the Worcester Room.

All sessions are free and open to the public. Our next four sessions will include:
