Hofstra University Center for Civic Engagement

Student Fellow

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) opened officially Hofstra in 2007 as an initiative by faculty committed to promoting student involvement in community and public life. Since its inception, the CCE has organized dozens of on-campus events, including forums, conferences, debates, workshops, exhibitions, cultural gatherings and performances around several important themes including nonviolence, social justice and sustainability, the democratic process, and globalization. The Center also plays an important role off-campus by supporting positive transformative changes on Long Island through its strategic community partnerships The CCE also offers a minor in civic engagement as well as community-based internships for academic credit.

As a student fellow, I was able to access various resource on-campus and across Long Island: 

​

• For CCE's 2018 "Day of Dialogue," I organized and moderated panel discussion on "Fake News of the World". Speakers included international students and professors from the Lawrence Herbert School of Communications. 

• As a passionate advocate for immigration reform, I hosted a day long event on the issue of DACA in today's political climate. Guest speakers included writers from HerStory Writers Workshop, young activist Carlos Jesus Calzadilla-Palacio and Hofstra Law School professor Lauris Wren. 

• I also manages CCE's social media platforms and participate in various committees (event planning committee, event promotion committee).
