The Orrin G. Hatch Foundation, in collaboration with Utah State University, is pleased to announce a Hatch Center Symposium on “Freedom of Speech: Improving Civil Dialogue on College Campuses.” The event will feature a conversation with Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary and current Fox News anchor and host.
“I’m looking forward to joining the conversation at Utah State University, thanks to the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation,” said Dana Perino. “In an era where echo chambers too often drown out genuine debate, we must learn to listen and engage respectfully. I’m eager to share my insights and challenge students and community members to rise above the noise and foster honest, constructive conversations.”
“In a time when polarization is so prevalent, it’s more important than ever to find common ground and communicate effectively,” said Matt Sandgren, Executive Director of the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation. “Dana Perino’s extensive experience in both government and media gives her unique insights into the importance of respectful and effective communication. We aim to inspire students and community members to engage in meaningful conversations that bridge divides and foster civil dialogue.”
