We hope you'll join us for the final teach-in of Winter term:
Student Experiences of Advocacy Tues Mar 31, 12 - 1:30pm 203-55 Chancellors Circle - Community Engaged Learning office Register to get an event reminder!https://forms.office.com/r/c86nvgASj8
This will be an opportunity to hear from students who have worked with the university to make change on campus and discuss what worked; what didn’t; what barriers they faced; and what changes could be made so students can more easily impact the policies and procedures that shape their university experience!
What to expect:
* The first 15 minutes will be for participants to arrive, sign-in, get comfortable, and introduced to each other * The next 45 minutes will be a presentation delivered in a casual setting of sitting in a circle * The following 45 minutes will be participatory discussion with time dedicated to question and answer or activities to engage participants in dialogue. * There will be no formal break so you are encouraged to move around the space and take additional breaks as needed
These teach-ins are a casual, conversational space for knowledge exchange. Feel free to bring your lunch, and drop-in even if you can't be there the whole time!
