IMPORTANT UPDATE!
Due to weather, we are changing this event from in-person to remote.
Here are the changes:
– If you know of others who might be interested in attending (and qualifying for the Civ-Point), please ask them to register below. Once they register, they too will receive the Zoom link.
– We are shortening the time from two hours to 90 minutes. Thus, we’ll end at 11:30 AM.
– For those of you who have already signed up, the Zoom link will be emailed to you.
Join us Saturday, January 24 from 10 am until noon at Crossroads College Prep (map) for a special event. We will be joined by Jeff Smith. He’s led a fascinating life that has taken him some unexpected places. From his bio:
Jeff Smith is executive director of the Missouri Workforce Housing Association, which supports development of safe, affordable housing. Previously, he taught public policy at Dartmouth College and The New School, represented the city of St. Louis in the Senate, and wrote three books: Trading Places, on U.S. party alignment; Mr. Smith Goes to Prison, a memoir and argument for reform; and Ferguson in Black and White, an historical analysis of St. Louis inequality. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Washington University.
This event is free for all high school and middle school students. Light breakfast snacks will be provided.
