The West Coast Poverty Center is pleased to announce the WCPC Winter seminar series with exciting speakers from Michigan, Oregon State, Georgia State and – of course – UW.
As a reminder, graduate students and advanced undergraduate students (with instructor approval) can sign up to take seminars as a class (SOC WL 556, 1 credit on a credit/no-credit basis). Enrolled students participate in seminars, meet with speakers, network with students from other departments, and complete a brief professional development activity. Students can take the seminar in multiple quarters.
