Our programming branch has two committees that work to increase political awareness on the Stanford campus. The Public Policy Forum Committee, seeks to connect students with policymakers and journalists who work at the state, national and international level. The Campus Awareness Committee looks to provide current events information to students and to offer greater opportunities for students to engage with professors on public affairs topics.
The third programming leg, the Campus and Community Partnerships Committee seeks to provide civic education for the larger Stanford community. In the past, it has helped prepare Stanford workers for their citizenship tests. This year, it has taught a civic education course in the East Palo Alto Charter School. It has also worked with the East Palo Alto Community Legal Services to create a “Know Your Rights” pamphlet to teach minors their legal rights, especially when stopped by the police.
