How will the Nov. 5 election will turn out? And what will the outcome mean for the future? Come join us to hear insights from Lee Hannah, Ph.D., and Paul Leonard, J.D., on Tuesday, Nov. 12, starting at 1 p.m. in the Bill Shepard Board Room of the Foundation Building at 3070 Presidential Drive.

Lee Hannah is a professor of political science in the WSU School of Social Sciences and International Studies. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from Penn State.

His research has been covered by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, NPR, The Guardian and others.

Paul Leonard 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 political science courses at Wright State University and the University of Dayton.
