Thank you everyone for attending the Norman Finkelstein event last night. We will be sending out a survey soon as we would like feedback about our events this semester as well as suggestions for next semester.
Good luck on finals!

Thank you to all who came out tonight! It was such a pleasure to have Dr. Nathan Brown with us to share his scholarship and perspectives on the conflict. Please feel free to reach out to us with feedback, ideas or interest in a leadership role with Perspectives for Progress.

Thank you also to the Silber Art Gallery who allowed us to host our event in such a special place on campus.
