Bears Engage 2024

Bears Engage 2024: Democracy and Dialogue is a collection of experiences to educate, inspire and encourage discussion about elections, campaigns and voting behavior. Our mission at Lenoir-Rhyne University is to build community and promote responsible engagement in service to the world. With Bears Engage 2024, we express that mission by making space for non-partisan explorations of elections and voting rooted in research and open dialogue. Our goal is to encourage curiosity and the free exchange of ideas independent of political affiliations. We hope to create an atmosphere where all feel valued, respected, and inspired to engage in thoughtful conversations about voting and renew civic engagement.
