About The Forum
As the outreach arm of the Evans School, The Forum brings combined strength in its capacity for civic engagement and the depth and breadth of policy research at the school and throughout the University. The Forum promotes diverse, credible, and reasoned discussion among citizens and leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Forum events are about creating and applying knowledge for a better world as well as practical ideas that work.

The Forum has established a broad set of relationships in the community and is a frequent collaborator in the production of forums, lectures, conferences, panel discussions, and working groups. Guests of The Forum address the process of change, the role of institutions in influencing change, and the importance of targeting policies and programs. Through partnerships with print and broadcast media organizations, The Forum seeks to expand resources for broad public discussion of critical policy issues.
