The Power of Storytelling: An Op-Ed Workshop

April 5, 2024
12:00 pm EDT - 4:00 pm EDT

Program Description:

Powerful writing has the ability to shape perspectives and drive change. In this dynamic six-week workshop, you will engage in both group and one-on-one sessions in order to immerse yourself in the art of persuasive op-ed and opinion writing. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from nationally recognized experts in writing and editing, including being able to ask questions about your work. Ten participants will work directly with Trent Spiner, an editor-in-chief and former national political reporter, in one-on-one sessions designed to help you craft and publish an op-ed on a topic of your choice. This class will be a journey to craft impactful narratives that inspire meaningful action in your community. All classes will be conducted via Zoom.

What You'll Gain:

  • Develop, write, and pitch at least one compelling op-ed.
  • Group classes focused on brainstorming, drafting, and pitching op-eds.
  • Facilitated conversations and Q&A sessions with op-ed experts.

Participants will also receive individualized coaching sessions for hands-on writing, editing and pitching to media outlets. Those include:

The American Stage Series: Dean Phillips (D-Minn)

October 31, 2023
10:00 am EDT - 11:00 am EDT

Dean Phillips

Congressman Dean Phillips joins the Institute as part of our American Stage Series. Phillips formally launched his presidential campaign on Fri., Oct. 27 and filed to run in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary. 

Dean Phillips is the Representative for Minnesota's Third Congressional District in Congress. In 2018 Phillips unseated five-term Republican Erik Paulsen - the first time in almost six decades that a Republican didn't carry that district. He has won re-election twice and, in 2022, by his widest margin — 59.6% to Republican challenger Tom Weiler's 40.4%.

Dean is Ranking Member of the House Small Business Committee and Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Middle East, Northern Africa, and Central Asia Subcommittee.

The nonpartisan Lugar Center ranks Dean as the 13th most bipartisan out of 435 Members of Congress. He has been named a Fiscal Hero by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and was recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with the Jefferson-Hamilton Award for Bipartisanship in the 116th and 117th Congress.

Free and open to the public with advance registration.
