Date: 
Thu, 11/14/2024 - 15:30 to 17:00

The University of Pittsburgh has a long tradition of activism for global justice by students who seek to raise awareness, engage communities, and advocate for change at the university and in the United States. To showcase that history, we are bringing together student activists across generations for a dialogue, including those who demonstrated against the war in Vietnam in the 1970s, South African apartheid in the 1980s, and those advocating for divestment from Israel today.
