Reclaiming Power: Student Voice & Digital Activism
Description:
Student voice remains vastly undervalued in higher ed. However, through social media, students are finding novel ways to reclaim their voice, foster community-building, and negotiate institutional change within their campuses. Come learn from our panel of student activists as they discuss how campuses can embrace students' leadership, expertise, and activism and, in turn, improve higher education both for students and the universities they attend.
