This is the Second Annual President’s Forum on Conflict and Conflict Transformation, hosted by the USU Office of the President. He discusses the profound crisis of U.S. political polarization, characterized by an alarming erosion of trust within our democracy. Judge Griffith will share how the U.S. Constitution's foundational principles of negotiation and compromise can provide pathways to address the increasing toxic polarization facing the United States.
The conversation continues with an insightful panel featuring Lord Dr. Michael Hastings and Dr. Jeannie Johnson, bringing their expertise in diplomacy and political science to the table. Moderated by Dr. Joseph P. Ward, a historian with a talent for sparking meaningful dialogue.

Since 1888, Utah State University established itself as a premier research institution known through the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. USU’s main campus is in Logan, plus 30 campuses throughout Utah. And as long as WiFi is available, you can be an Aggie anywhere through USU Online.
USU competes in 16 NCAA Division I sports. Our student section, the HURD, is one of the loudest and rowdiest in the nation. The diehards become True Aggies by kissing on the block “A” on Homecoming. Adrenaline junkies sled down Old Main hill between classes or rock climb outside. And everyone eats Aggie Ice Cream — even with a foot of snow on the ground.
