LA GRANDE, Ore. (EOU) – Jeff Dense, Ph.D., professor of political science, will discuss civic engagement and distance education for the next colloquium at EOU, Thursday, Jan. 26.

The presentation begins at 4 p.m. in Ackerman Hall, Room 210 and is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

Dense will scrutinize the link between distance education, civic engagement and the discipline of political science with evidence from EOU’s thriving online education curriculum. Students enrolled in a state and local government class served as a pilot group for this important initiative in 2011. Colleagues are also invited to share best practices from their own distance education experiences in civic engagement during the colloquium.
