Marcia Smith Fleres, executive director of the West Windsor-Plainsboro Education Foundation, helped to coordinate more than 200 Central Jersey high school students and their teachers when they attended Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs on April 27 for a day-long public affairs forum on American democracy and global affairs.##M:[more]##
High School South students attended a session presented by Markus Prior, assistant professor of politics and public affairs and author of “Post-Broadcast Democracy: How Media Choice Increases Inequality in Political Involvement and Polarizes Elections.” The afternoon session presentation was made by Ambassador Robert Hutchings, diplomat-in-residence at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, and former chairman of the U.S. National Intelligence Council.
“It was an extraordinary day,” said Fleres. “The speakers were outstanding and the students asked insightful questions.”
