E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues

And with that, the 2026 E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues season comes to a close.

We were honored to have Shaylyn Romney Garrett as the closing speaker for this year’s E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues.

Through her talk, “America’s Upswing,” Romney Garrett challenged us to think deeply about polarization, connection, and what it means to rebuild a culture of “we.” Her message, grounded in history, research, and hope, left us inspired to strengthen the social fabric in our own communities.

We appreciate her time, insight, and meaningful contribution to our community.

Tonight’s keynote speaker, Shaylyn Romney Garrett, met with social entrepreneurship students this morning to share her expertise and reflect on the importance of community.

To hear more from Romney Garrett, social entrepreneur and author of “The Upswing,” join us tonight, March 31st at 6:30 p.m., at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. Get your free tickets NOW!
