We had a great spring kickoff for the UConn Hartford Chapter - 35 students were at the meeting and we heard from both Andy MacDonald (Student PIRGs) and Lola Elliott-Hugh (UConn Urban and Community Studies Dept) about how effective students can be at making change.
The Hunger and Homelessness group is organizing volunteer trips right away, the Campus Climate Challenge started to plan a showing of An Inconvenient Truth, and our Higher Education group is organizing students to attend and testify at a hearing for state-funded grant aid programs.
The semester is off to a great start!
