The New College of Florida Office of Public Policy Events seeks to advance free speech, civil discourse, and fearless dialogue through facilitating events that foster open discussion and debate on relevant public policy issues. Such debates or group forums provide opportunity for a wide range of viewpoints and perspectives to be presented. These events are open to the public and include speakers from within and without the state university community that hold broadly divergent and opposing perspectives.
