Lugar Announces Annual Symposium for Tomorrow's Leaders

Senator Seeks Hoosier High School Student Nominees

Thursday, October 30, 2008

On December 13, 2008, U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar will hold the 32nd annual Lugar Symposium for Tomorrow’s Leaders. Administrators at each Indiana high school are asked to nominate two outstanding juniors to discuss current events and issues at the Symposium, held on the campus of the University of Indianapolis.
 
“We gather each year for the Symposium at the University of Indianapolis to discuss current affairs in our state, country and world with hundreds of Hoosier students. It is exciting to meet these impressive young people and learn of their interests and passions,” Lugar said.
 
Schools may nominate their two students by completing the form found at http://lugar.senate.gov/symposium/form.cfm. For more information about the program, visit http://lugar.senate.gov/symposium/ or call (317) 226-5555.
 
Lugar will address the students on national and world affairs before they break into small discussion groups. State and national advocates lead the sessions, allowing students to engage in lively discourse. This year’s symposium topics include: U.S. leadership in the world, Iraq, energy security, immigration, media responsibility, global warming, and truthfulness. Participants often cite the symposium as an important high school achievement.
