Faculty/Staff Detail

Mary McGuire, Institute for Civic Engagement, and John Suarez, Office of Service-Learning, conducted a Deliberative Dialog on Oct. 12, as part of the Institute for Civic Engagement’s “Economic Inequality Initiative.” Thirty-three people – 20 students, 10 community leaders and 3 faculty and staff members – explored long-term solutions to some of Cortland County’s socio-economic challenges. Key to this dialog’s success was the participation of people who represent differing economic and political points of view. Initiative members are now taking steps to develop some of the solutions.
