On the heels of Stacey Abrams visit to campus on the evening of Sept. 11, there will be four other guests involved in the fight for more fair and democratic elections and fighting voter suppression, particularly in Georgia. Whether you just want to learn more about these vital issues, or are looking for volunteer opportunities or career options, please feel free to attend.
