Moving Forward: A Teach-In

Radical Bureaucrats: Pursuing Progressive Policy Under a Trump Administration

So proud to see our students organizing!  Whether you agree politically or not, the thing is  – they are taking a stand, proactively and not just complaining!  So, glad to see a near SRO crowd in Maxwell Auditorium on a Friday Afternoon!  With a full agenda and collaborative effort across faculty, staff, students and the broader SU and Syracuse Community.  This is not an apathetic generation that is going to sit back and just allow policy to happen without their voices being heard. So, today they ask….

How can we continue to pursue progressive policy during the Trump administration?

February 10th in the Maxwell School Auditorium at Syracuse University!
