The 2013 Fox Cities Reads is underway! Pick up a copy of Last Child in the Woods and the Nature Priniciple by Richard Louv at your local library and join in community-wide discussions about the book. The author will visit the Fox Cities April 22-24 during the Fox Cities Book Festival.
Debate Over the Legalization of Marijuana
This is the event that’s been called “the best program we’ve ever had” by schools all over the country. It’s so simple: Steve Hager, longtime editor of High Times Magazine takes on hard-hitting DEA veteran Robert Stutman on the multitude of issues surrounding marijuana legalization. What makes it so successful? For one, students are drawn to the topic (and our full-color posters). Secondly, the entire event is interactive – it’s completely driven by student questions. Finally, it provides a well-balanced forum for students and community on both sides of this embattled topic.
This event will be held in the Student Union at UW-Fox Valley. See the campus map for location.
