The Center for Digital Literacy (CDL) at Syracuse University, in conjunction with professors Larry Elin and Steve Davis of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and professor Grant Reeher of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, will present the 2004 Summer Institute on the Internet and Democracy on July 8-9 in Room 304 of SU’s Schine Student Center.

Confirmed keynote speakers include Phil Noble, founder of PoliticsOnline.com; S.B.

Jon Gant, a faculty member of both the School of Information Studies and the Maxwell School at SU, has organized a panel on digital literacy and empowerment in developing countries. There will also be special sessions designed for high school educators.

The event will bring together some of the minds that organized groups and movements of people during the 2000 U.S. Presidential campaigns and those who have worked toward building civic action ever since, including the current 2004 Presidential campaigns. Educators, government officials and community activists will gather on the SU campus to learn how to build movements using the power of the Internet.
