Students and community members from across the state are invited to TADP's 9th Annual Student Conference on the Death Penalty.  This year's conference will be held at Belmont University in the bottom of the Curb Event Center: Beaman A and B.  

This year's featured speaker is Stephen Owens, the son of Gaile Owens—a woman released from Tennessee’s death row in 2011. She was convicted of murdering his father. He is author of the book, Set Free, in which he shares his journey towards forgiveness and reconciliation.

The conference will also include a showing of the short film, "To Honor Life," with a panel of those in the film to follow, as well as a panel of attorneys to speak about the legal side of capital cases and the death penalty system from 1pm to 2pm.  

Lunch will be provided.  There will be coffee options within walking distance of the conference location to get coffee in the morning.  

T-shirts will be available with a suggested donation of $10.
