Miller Center Forum events set for March at Lucy Corr

Springdale at Lucy Corr Village will host two Miller Center Forum events later this month.

The Miller Center Forum provides continuing education for the University of Virginia and regional community through live Web casts and C- SPAN broadcasts for the American public. Each month, the forum brings together leading experts and thoughtful audiences for lively discussions of critical public policy topics.

As a host site for the forum, live Web casts will be presented in the library at Lucy Corr Village. Seating is limited and can be reserved by calling Springdale at 426-8280. The following speakers are scheduled:
