Politically Active: Make America Healthy?
2025-10-16 15:00 - 17:00
This is a no-obligation, completely-free meeting where we will host a conversation among ourselves about another fantastic student-selected topic. In a Trump administration that has become known for sharp changes in direction, few parts of it have had a sharper change in direction than the Health and Human Services Department, under the controversial leadership of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. What is it doing, and why is it so controversial? What is the future of health in America? I’m sure we’ll solve all these problems in 60 minutes.
There are truly no strings attached. You do not need to be a member. You do not need to “join” anything, unless of course you’d like to. Feel free to come and hang around with us. This should be a lot of fun. And I repeat — free pizza for all attendees!
Contact me with any questions! I hope to see you there!
