Featured Learning Collaborative
Join us for our upcoming learning collaborative experience focused on developing effective advocacy strategies. Strong advocacy skills can improve your ability to implement new policy, build the case for more resources, and gain administrative buy-in for new and existing programs. Led by subject matter experts, this four-part series will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to develop your own advocacy plan that can be scaled to use on campus, within your community, or even higher levels of government.
This series will also explore how best to navigate the current legislative landscape in order to achieve your specific initiatives goals. Each session will be conducted in a blended format, including webinars and open discussions.
Registration will grant up to two individuals from your campus access to the course materials.
