SNF Agora Student Forum: Closing the Civilian-Military Divide

Description

The military plays an integral role in a healthy, functioning democracy—from providing protection and humanitarian aid to its citizens to supporting democratic efforts internationally. Unfortunately, many Americans have little connection to our armed services or have misinformed perceptions of the military, which has created a considerable civilian-military divide in our country.

Join the SNF Agora Institute for a student-focused forum with former and current army officers, who will help debunk common misconceptions about the U.S. military as a way to foster transparency and communication. Johns Hopkins students will have the opportunity to ask questions about the military, including the nature of military service, posts, positions, jobs, and quality of life.

This event will begin with a discussion between our panelists, followed by audience Q&A. Students are encouraged to submit questions ahead of time via the form on the SNF Agora website.

This event is limited to Johns Hopkins University students.
