WSU Retirees Association Presents:

Presidential Election 2020: A Virtual Discussion with Paul Leonard, J.D.

One of the most important elections of our lifetimes is coming up on Nov. 3 and no one knows what will happen. As we have in the past, the Wright State University Retirees Association has asked former Dayton Mayor Paul Leonard and Donna Schlagheck, retired chair and emeritus professor of political science, to share their election insights with us on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., EDT. All WSU retirees are invited to join the discussion via Zoom.

Paul Leonard, J.D., was elected to seats in the Ohio General Assembly four times and also served as mayor of Dayton. At the end of his term as mayor, he was elected lieutenant governor of Ohio and served from 1987-1991. Following that, he returned to Dayton to continue his law practice and founded the Center for Animal Law and Advocacy, a legal team advocating for harsher penalties for those who mistreat animals. He also teaches in the Political Science Departments at Wright State University and the University of Dayton.

Donna Schlagheck, Ph.D., led the WSU model UN team to top honors at the annual national Model UN conference in New York City for more than 20 years. She taught U.S. Foreign Policy, International Terrorism and United Nations/Diplomacy during her tenure. She has served as past president of WSURA and as past president of the Dayton Council on World Affairs. In addition, she is a member of the planning team for the 25th Anniversary of the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords.
