Event Details
Join ASI Student Government for the first-ever Civic Engagement Day on May 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Chumash Auditorium (Building 65, Room 205)! This event will allow the student body to actively communicate and connect with representatives from various levels of government. Students will have the chance to share their concerns with officials and learn more about the inner workings of government, including its impact on our campus community. Free lunch will be provided at the event.
Representatives featured at this event include but are not limited to, San Luis Obispo Councilwoman Emily Francis, County Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg, and staff members from the offices of County Supervisor Jimmy Paulding and Senator John Laird. This event will be similar to the “Meet Your Representatives” series from past years with the same goal to engage students in discussions with their representatives and officials.
