Join us for a conversation between Wendy Spencer, CEO for the Corporation for National and Community Service, and President Scott Cowen on Tuesday, February 18th from 12:00-2:30pm in Kendall Cram as they discuss the importance of national service programs and the growing role of higher education in promoting and preparing students for sustained engagement. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is a federal agency that engages more than 5 million Americans in service through its core programs — Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and the Social Innovation Fund — and leads President Obama’s national call to service initiative, United We Serve.
Lunch will be provided. Keynote address (12:00-1:00pm) will be followed by the 2nd annual Tulane National Service Fair (1:00-2:30 p.m). At the service fair, students will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from national service organizations and local non-profits that have post graduate national service opportunities.
