FIRE's third annual Campus Freedom Network (CFN) Student Conference is only a few days away! The conference, which will be held at Bryn Mawr College just outside of Philadelphia, will begin with dinner on Thursday evening, followed by a day and a half of lectures and panels. Students will hear from leading experts on First Amendment rights on campus and take part in workshops in which they will learn how they can defend core constitutional freedoms at their own colleges and universities.
