'All of us have a role to play' to ensure democracy survives and flourishes - At Johns Hopkins University's annual Democracy Day, new students learn about the importance of-and threats to-modern democracies. For most Johns Hopkins undergraduates, the college experience is filled with a long list of firsts-including the first election in which they are eligible to vote. With that in mind, JHU held its third annual Democracy Day on Saturday, offering students an introduction to the democratic process and the ways they can engage with it. Much of this year's programming focused on the problems facing democracy, a theme JHU President Ron Daniels echoed in his opening remarks. "Liberal democracy.. is not a self-executing endeavor," he said.
