Brown Bag Lunch Series: Effects of Administration's Executive Orders
The goal of this series is to foster discussions about the Trump Administration’s executive orders. We want students to know both what is currently happening in the federal government and why it matters as we work to understand the impacts of the flurry of executive orders on our country's legal framework. To do so, ACS is planning to host recurring meetings where different faculty members speak at each meeting for ~15 minutes about a particular way the Trump EOs intersect with their area(s) of expertise and then engage in conversation with students over a brown-bag lunch.
