10th Annual Symposium on Democracy
May 4-5, 2009

 
Purpose of the Symposium
The tragic events of May 4, 1970, at Kent State University had a profound impact on the university, the nation, and the world. This annual symposium was founded in 2000 to honor the memories of the four students who lost their lives on that day—Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder—with an enduring dedication to scholarship that seeks to prevent violence and to promote democratic values and civil discourse.
