EVENT: How (& Why) Higher Ed. Contributes to Community

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for a free event focusing on higher education’s role in building just and sustainable communities. We hope you will attend.

Building Just and Sustainable Communities:
Are Colleges and Universities Doing Their Part?

February 21, 2017, reception 5 – 6 pm | program 6 -7 pm
Presidio Trust South Gallery
Presidio Trust Headquarters – 103 Montgomery St., the Presidio

Colleges and universities have both special responsibilities and distinctive opportunities in creating strong and healthy communities. At their best, they contribute not only by preparing students for lives of engaged citizenship, but also by supporting research and institutional practices that serve the public good. In a moment of renewed focus on how local institutions can contribute to the sustainability of democracy, join us for a conversation about how higher education is rising to the challenge and building cross-sector collaborations to do so.

Offered in partnership by Presidio Trust and California Campus Compact, this engaging evening of conversation features remarks by California Campus Compact President Andrew Seligsohn, followed by responses from the W&EHF’s Executive Director, Pam David, and Sheryl Evans Davis, Executive Director of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission.
