Health Sciences Service-Learning Kick-Off, 10/02/14

The Health Sciences Service-Learning Kick-Off will be on October 2nd from 5:30-8:00 p.m. in Hogness Auditorium and the A-300 lobby of the Magnuson Health Sciences Building. Free dinner is included!!  We’re excited to launch this year off with an exciting array of speakers as well as an opportunity to network with fellow students and service /advocacy /activism oriented organizations.  The speakers we’ll have the opportunity to hear from include:

• Rosalinda Guillen and Tomas Madrigal from Community to Community Development and Familias Unidas por la Justicia (to speak about the Sakuma Berry Boycott and the organizing that is happening with Washington State’s first farmworker union)
• Maru Mora Villalpando and Jose Moreno from Latino Advocacy and the #Not1More Deportation campaign (to speak about the organizing efforts to change immigration policies and challenge unjust detention and deportation policies that are happening locally and nationally)
• An additional student speaker is being confirmed!

After the speaking concludes, student organizations with a service/advocacy/activism bent will have a brief moment to share about what they are up to in the coming year! This is your chance to connect with fellow students, recruit them into your folds, and even network across organizations and the health sciences schools.  If you plan to attend, please let us know by filling out the following survey.
