Just a week after the 2012 elections, the annual McGovern Conference will analyze the possible fallout of this year’s negative campaigning and the effects it might have on the operation of the country.
The 2012 McGovern Conference will focus on “Moving Beyond Political Polarization: How Can Congress Best Serve the Nation in the Coming Decade?” But before the events begin, there will be a special tribute video in memory of Sen. George McGovern, followed by words by Dr. Robert Duffett, president of DWU.
The one-day annual event held on the campus of Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday in the Sherman Center. Keynote presenters for the 2012 McGovern Conference will be former members of Congress Gil Gutknecht, R-Minn., and Max Sandlin, D-Texas.
This conference is sponsored by the McGovern Center and is open to the public. Online registration is available at the McGovern Center at mcgoverncenter.com/conference. Contact Dr. Don Simmons at (605) 995-2937, or by email at dosimmon@dwu.edu, for more information and registration details.
