 Democracy Institute Friends,

What does the Russian attack on Ukraine, and the response of the Ukrainian people and the global community, mean for democracy at home and abroad? How might the current crisis in Ukraine and its possible trajectories impact today's students of higher education?  On Tuesday, June 21^st, at 4 pm Eastern, please join students and community members from across the Big Ten Conference for a live virtual conversation, Ukraine: Implications for Democracy in the U.S. and Globally, with Senate Foreign Relations Committee members Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Rob Portman (R-OH).
