Changemaker Forums
The Student Affairs Changemaker Working Group will be hosting two open forums to give Student Affairs, University Ministry, and other community members an opportunity to contribute their ideas. Forums will take place on March 19 from 12-1 p.m. and March 29 from 12-1 p.m. Food will be provided. In preparation for the forums, we ask that you review the document linked here. This template is a draft that was created to capture changemaking ideas across campus. It already includes some suggestions and recommendations from members of the Social Change Hub and the colleagues who participated at the Changemaker Campus Exchange in Arizona last month.
We hope to have all participants review the current list of ideas, brain storm other recommendations, and to then identify the initiatives that have the most potential at each forum.
- For the March 19 forum, RSVP by March 15
- For the March 29 forum, RSVP by March 26
Please RSVP to Alejandro at acervantes@sandiego.edu
