On Thursday, October 15, law clerk and SUU alumnus Jeremy Christiansen will be presenting in the State Bank of Southern Utah Business Executive Speaker Series on “Constitutional Interpretation: Why you should care about it, and why you should be an originalist”. He will present in the Ballroom of the Sharwan Smith Student Center at 11:30 a.m.
