In March of 2012, Ferrum College sponsored the second annual Ferrum College Forum on Critical Thinking, Innovation and Leadership at the Hotel Roanoke. The 2012 event focused on the Federal Budget and was a featured stop on the National Debt Tour, with previous stops including Harvard University and New York City.
