Please join the IOP as we welcome our Winter Quarter 2021 class of Pritzker Fellows for a conversation with IOP Director David Axelrod. The events of the last several days have shaken us all. There’s a lot we’re still trying to understand as we approach the inauguration of a new administration amid a pandemic and chaos in our capital. But we’re approaching this quarter with optimism and anticipation as we are joined by four talented Pritzker Fellows—all of whom are uniquely suited to help us navigate this pivotal moment in American history. This Thursday they’ll join David to discuss the insurrection at the US Capitol, the incoming Biden administration, the ongoing pandemic, and the divides we face as a country. Following their conversation, the Fellows will answer student questions live.
Featuring:
- Tim Alberta, chief political correspondent for POLITICO
- Fmr. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Co-Founder and Chair of the One Country Project
- Fmr. Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX)
- Kara Swisher, host of “Sway” and opinion writer for The New York Times
Following the event, our Student Advisory Board will be hosting an open discussion for any student who wants to reflect further on last week's events at the Capitol. If you are interested in this student-led and student-centered event please check the box for "Continuing the Conversation" on the registration page.
