Faculty member to moderate Sept. 13 Candidates' Forum

Penn College is among the sponsors of a downtown Sept. 13 forum to be moderated by Craig A. Miller, professor of history/political science, and attended by candidates for Lycoming County commissioner and Common Pleas Court judge.

The event will be hosted by the Roads to Freedom Center for Independent Living, which is co-sponsoring with the college and the League of Women Voters of Lycoming County. Light refreshments and a "meet and greet" will be held from 5-6 p.m. in the lobby of the agency's 24 E. Third St. location, following by the forum from 6-8 p.m. in the banquet room.

"The purpose of this forum is to allow the disability community to have a platform to address unmet needs in the county," organizers said, "as well as how the judicial system understands the disability population and assures their rights as a person with a disability are not violated in the legal system."
