How Neighborhoods Affect Social Mobility: Dinner + Fireside Chat + Q/A

Please register on Handshake: https://app.joinhandshake.com/stu/events/1200148

Join Teach For America and CWRU's University Diversity Collaborative, African American Society, and The Brotherhood, for pizza and dessert, networking with justice-minded CWRU students, and an important discussion and panel.

Where you live matters: the arbitrary circumstances into which you are born - such as your gender, race, and ZIP Code - can determine your successes in life. This "opportunity gap" creates obstacles to obtaining a quality education, which is an essential component to prosperity. Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, author of The Black Agenda: Bold Solutions for a Broken System, will explain how centering marginalized communities in policy decisions improves outcomes for everyone. Then, stay for a Q+A Panel with students from 7 colleges and universities in Indiana and Ohio, to learn more about how these issues show up in our own cities, including Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Cleveland.

This event is free and open to all CWRU students with an interest in racial equity-work, policy, architecture, planning, or any other related field. Please register in advance.
