Discussion to be followed by Q&A.
The Change the Status Quo Social Justice & Service Lecture Series hopes to empower attendees to use the Learn by Doing spirit to challenge social norms, ask critical questions, demand solutions and make lasting social change. Through a series of workshops each term and an inspiring keynote in the winter term, our hope is attendees will gain a new-found sense and understanding of social justice, take ownership of their role in effecting social change, and more mindfully serve their communities when equipped with the knowledge.
*This event is free for Cal Poly students, staff, & faculty and $15 for the general public. Tickets are required.
