With less than six weeks to go before the 2024 election, the race is a nail biter. Come join with your fellow retirees after election day to discuss the outcome with Lee Hannah, Ph.D., and Paul Leonard, J.D., on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 1–2:30 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 and teaching interests primarily focus on state politics and the diffusion and construction of public policy. He recently published a book titled Green Rush: The Rise of Medical Marijuana in the American States with Daniel Mallinson (Penn State Harrisburg). 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.
This event will take place in the Bill Shepard Board Room on the first floor of the Foundation Building at 3070 Presidential Drive (behind Wendy’s Restaurant across Colonel Glenn Highway from the main entrance to campus). It is free and open to the public, but advance registration is requested. To register, RSVP by Monday, Nov. 11, by sending email to wsura@wright.edu.
