JMU experts to discuss the impeachment process

Moving beyond headlines, political science faculty experts Tim LaPira and Valerie Sulfaro will provide insights into the impeachment process, how it works, what we might expect next and how it will affect politics, today at 4 p.m. in Madison Union room 302.

“Addressing impeachment and hyper-partisanship provide an important opportunity for political learning regardless of political beliefs,” says Carah Ong Whaley, associate director of the James Madison Center for Civic Engagement at JMU.

The James Madison Center for Civic Engagement emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge to make one a more informed citizen, skills to make one a more effective citizen, and values that embrace pluralism, open-mindedness and diversity. The Madison Center is a nonpartisan entity that works in partnership with students, faculty, staff, and with community, state and national partners, to support civic learning and democratic engagement.
