Lunch Program

John J. Pitney, Jr., Moderator

Join the Dreier Roundtable for a panel centering the role of student journalism on college campuses. In today’s political and social climate where free speech is under scrutiny, student newspapers play a critical role in amplifying various voices and perspectives across the campuses. In this lunch event moderated by John J. Pitney Jr., Roy P. Crocker Professor of Politics at CMC, we will have Ben Lauren, editor-in-chief of The Student Life, Nate Weisberg, editor-in-chief of the CMC Forum, and Jameson Mitrovich, managing editor of the Claremont Independent, in conversation with one another. Learn about the philosophy of reporting at our campus’s publications, free speech on college campuses, and how we can promote productive and respectful discourse.
