Student Senate Forum: Campus and Community Safety Town Hall
November 9
4:30 p.m.
Valders 206

Over the past several months, we have experienced several reported sexual assaults, an attempted break in at the college apartments, the loss of a classmate and other situations that have rocked our sense of safety. Student Senate invites you to meet with Luther and Decorah Police Department officials as they engage us in conversation regarding crime prevention and reporting. There will be opportunities for questions and we ask all interested students, faculty and staff to join in this important conversation regarding our community.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Independent Michael Luick-Thrams and Libertarian Charles Aldrich are running to represent Iowa in United States Senate, but aren't widely known - and that's exactly how those in power like it. Come find out how institutionalized hurdles to gaining access to the public political discourse keep the United States stuck in a two-party system and how these two men are pushing back. Join us for a brown-bag discussion, sponsored by the Center for Ethics and Public Engagement. 12:30-1:30 p.m. Friday, November 4 in the Mott Room.
