Read all about the event in the October 2nd edition of The Student Life:
PSU Brings Former Congressmen to Campus TSL Editors Q & A Session with the Congressmen From Monday, September 28th to Tuesday, September 29th, the PSU will be hosting the “Congress to Campus” program through the Stennis Center for Public Service Leadership. Two former members of Congress, Rep. Dennis Hertel (D-MI) and Rep. Denny Smith (R-OR) will be on campus, and we will be having them speak in six different classes over two days. They will also give interviews to the TSL and KSPC, will be eating each meal with different groups of students or teachers, and will be debating one another in Rose Hills on Monday the 28th. While it is commonplace to bring in an academic to talk about policy, it is much more difficult to hear about our government in practice. This will provide a unique opportunity for students across several disciplines, as it will provide insight into the actual policy making process. The bios of the members can be found below: Rep.
