Getting Closer to First Civ Discussion of 2009-10 |
|
Civitas promotes a host of activities, but informal discussions among students from different schools is always key to our work. No homework, no tests, no papers; just good old-fashioned talk about items that are of interest to you and other students.
Our first discussion this year is on Saturday, September 5 at Crossroads School in the Central West End (map) from 9:00 - 11:00 AM. Our agenda for the day will include: • Discussion on health care, international hot spots, school issues, whatever you like.
• Information on Pulitzer Center Global Gateway program.
• Information on Washington University Model U.N. (WUMUNS)
• Information on Civitas model U.N. in November |

Eric Greitens to be Featured
on Tom Brokaw Aug. 26 |
|
Over the past year, Civitas has had the pleasure of working with Eric Greitens, director of the Center for Citizen Leadership and The Mission Continues. He has been a relentless advocate for veterans, helping them find opportunities in areas of employment, reintegration to society, and enhanced health. Eric has also been engaged in international humanitarian efforts; seeking to extent economic and social rights to the disenfranchised in developing countries.
Eric will be featured on Tom Brokaw's NBC evening news on Wednesday, August 26. It airs in the Central Time Zone from 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM. Our local NBC station is Channel 5.
We hope that you'll be able to see this special on Eric and join us in continued collaboration between the Center for Citizen Leadership and Civitas. |
