Becoming Brokers and Advocates for Social Change Fall Workshop

You're invited to the Becoming Brokers and Advocates for Social Change Fall Workshop hosted by the BSU-UMD Social Justice Alliance and 2nd Lt. Richard W. Collins III Foundation facilitated by Dr. Victoria Alexander Thompson and Dr. Rashawn Ray at the University of Maryland, College Park. 

This workshop invites participants to explore the critical role of advocacy, civic engagement, and social justice in advancing equity and strengthening democracy regardless of your experience. As we approach the ten-year remembrance of 1st Lt. Richard W. Collins III, we honor his legacy by equipping the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to challenge injustice, expand access to civic participation, and create meaningful social change. Through interactive sessions and specialized learning tracks, participants will move beyond awareness to action, developing the tools necessary to become effective brokers and advocates within their communities and institutions.

The BSU-UMD SJA Fall Workshop will be held on Friday, October 30th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm, STAMP Student Union Prince George's Room. Lunch will be provided for attendees. Please RSVP by Friday, October 16th.
