Student Events

Students will participate in an activity that highlights the ways in which we are privileged (or not) based on our identities from sexuality to ability to race to class. This highly interactive experience will conclude with a reflection on how privilege impacts our daily lives and influences public policy and political outcomes. Pizza and cookies will be provided.

The American Democracy Project will be taking students to the Indiana State Capitol for the annual ISU Day at the Statehouse on February 26. Here, students will have the opportunity to meet state legislators, discuss their work and activities at Indiana State, and tour the capitol building. This is a great opportunity to see government-in-action. Students will be attending as representatives of departments or student organizations.
