Events

For more than a decade, the Communication Leadership Lab has hosted and facilitated events encouraging dialogue and deliberation, and even occasionally debate, among campus and community partners. Many of these events are in partnership with the Choose Civility: Allegany County chapter, which is coordinated through the Allegany County Library System.
