Seminar Series:

“Fostering Civic Advocacy on Campus”

Monday, May 20, 2019
12:00pm – 1:00pm
Calit2 Auditorium

Speaker(s): (1) Dave Min, J.D. (2) Candice Taylor, M.D. (3) Miryha Runnerstrom, Ph.D.,

Abstract: 
Civic advocacy is to engage with those in power to improve the lives of those who are marginalized either by race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and other characteristics taking into consideration their views in decision-making. This process involves developing knowledge, skills, values, and motivations to make a difference at individual, local, institutional and policy levels.
