Brown will share insights from his decades of gl obal leadership to connect the research to policy and practice.\n\nThis ev ent is hosted by the Center for Civic Society at the USC Schaeffer Institu te and the Center for the Political Future at USC Dornsife. \n\nPROGRAM\n\ n10:30am|Check-in and Refreshments10:45am|Opening RemarksAnna Saavedra\, D irector\, Center for Civic Society\; Scholar\, USC Schaeffer Institute11:0 0am|Fireside Chat Robert Putnam\, Malkin Professor of Public Policy\, Emer itus\, Harvard Kennedy School\; Author\, The Upswing\, Bowling AloneIn con versation with: The Rt.
