The Northern Kentucky Forum will host its second “public square” event on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 6:45 p.m. at Otto M. Budig Theater at Northern Kentucky University. The focus will be on the presidential election and the challenges ahead for the next president. The Forum’s public square events are free gatherings, open to community at large and to NKU faculty, staff and students. The events are designed to engage and inform the audience, often with innovative formats.
The event will begin with reflections from journalist Steve Hurst, a widely traveled Associated Press foreign correspondent who returned to the States last spring. Now based in Washington, Hurst has been providing extensive coverage of the 2008 campaign for AP’s international customers and readers.
After his opening reflections, Hurst will take questions from the audience in an open dialogue format. During the second portion for the evening, Hurst will join a panel that will include two elected officials (one from each party) and an economist. The panelists joining Hurst will be Kentucky State Auditor Crit Luallen; Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson; Dr. Martin Giesbrecht, NKU professor emeritus of economics. The panel will be moderated by Terry Grundy, director of community impact at United Way of Greater Cincinnati and an adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Planning.
