The Times Have Found Us

“The times have found us.”
— Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, January 1776

Join us on January 5, 2023, as we welcome St Petersburg College Professor Tara Newsom, who will address how Thomas Paine’s quote is relevant to today’s political climate and our BPW/FL Public Policy Platform. Professor Newsom is the founding director of St. Petersburg College’s Center for Civic Learning & Community Engagement, which is strategically designed to create diverse civic leadership through public service. Newsom encourages and cultivates critical thinking skills in the classroom and arms students with the tools to be successful, academically and personally. She is a contributor to WUSF’s Florida Matters program, NPR’s America Amplified, PBS’s Florida This Week, and Tampa Bay’s NBC affiliate, WFLA.  Our next meeting is Thursday, January 5, 2023
