Students prepare to share their values at Boise State Listens event
Every person has their own idea of what’s important in life, a set of values that they live by.
It’s these differing values that help shape our community, which is why listening to one another is so important. And that’s what Boise State Listens is inviting people to do next week, as seven students share what they value and why.
Isaac Castellano, associate clinical professor and associate director of the Institute for Advancing American Values, and Boise State students Victoria Zunich, who is also an undergraduate fellow with the institute, and Ethan Lahaug joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the upcoming event.
Can our values – shared or not – be the bridge we’re looking for this election season?
Mention “values,” let alone “American values” this election season and it’s likely that you’ll inspire conversation. The key, of course, is to keep the conversation civil, respectful and above all, engaging. Morning Edition host George Prentice sat down with Dr. Andrew Finstuen, Executive Director of the Institute for Advancing American Values, to discuss the Institute and the October 25 Distinguished Lecture Series event with NPR contributor and New York Times columnist David Brooks.
