The intensive civics education program on the Western Washington University campus begins with a Sunday, July 8 barbecue and concludes Friday, July 13. Places are available for about two dozen K-12 and community college educators. They will participate in a series of 90-minute discussions with political leaders, journalists, pollsters, judges, state and local elected officials and WWU political science faculty. Formerly the Taft seminar, the program has been renamed in honor of former Washington Secretary of State Ralph Munro, a 1966 WWU political science graduate. Admission is competitive, so applications should be sent in as soon as possible.
Interested citizens can attend seminar discussions on a space-available basis at no cost.
They can also watch them on TVW, Washington s public affairs television network.
