Spring 2022 Public Policy Conference Program
We are pleased to announce the theme for the Helm’s School of Government’s annual policy conference: A Nation Divided? Assessing Freedom and the Rule of Law in a post-2020 World. The cultural, social, and political impacts of 2020 still linger and the mutually important goals of freedom and the rule of law continue to be redefined and threatened.
