Rita P. Davis, Chief Counsel to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, will talk about her personal journey into activism from an English major, with a focus on the idea that “growth requires risk.”
The talk will be followed by a live Q&A, moderated by associate professor Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon.
This is the second online event in the Spring 2021 Barbara & David Zalaznick Reading Series: Together. Each semester, writers ranging from debut poets to internationally renowned authors visit the Cornell campus as part of the Zalaznick Reading Series. Sponsored by the Zalaznick family and hosted by the Creative Writing Program, this series has educated and entertained students and the broader Cornell community alike. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Spring 2021 edition of the series has gone virtual, so from the intimacy of their homes to ours, a lineup of renowned writers will share their work.
