WYE MILLS, MARYLAND — Chesapeake College, the community college that serves Talbot County, will host a student civic forum Thursday, Nov. 12, and organizers are looking for students to take part.

The MD Two Fifty Student Civic Forum and Community College Civic Engagement Panel runs from noon to 5 p.m. in the Todd Performing Arts Center auditorium on the college's Wye Mills campus, according to the college's event listing.

Maryland Humanities, working with the MD Two Fifty Commission, is holding the panels at community college campuses across Maryland. The college says the events bring local, county and state officials into direct conversation with students.

Maryland Humanities is inviting submissions from student panelists with experience in civic engagement, student government, policy or community organizing, from student moderators, and from student performers, including poets, dancers and musicians, whose work explores civic life, democracy and community.

Submissions should include a name and contact information, a 50- to 200-word description of the proposed contribution and a short bio. The listing does not post a deadline. Students can submit proposals through the MD Two Fifty Student Civic Forums interest form linked on the college's event page. Questions go to Emily Ross of Maryland Humanities at eross [at] mdhumanities.org.
