Team PREP Gathers Support for Making College More Affordable
Students in my class on Activism, Eric Riley and Kevin Roach, gathered support on The Diag at the University of Michigan to make college more affordable on Wednesday, April 9. (Thanks to Alexa Patsalis for taking these photos!)
Quoted in USA Today College edition
Today I was quoted in a story in USA Today College edition about President Obama’s visit to Ann Arbor to promote a minimum wage hike. To make this even cooler, also quoted in the story was one of my undergraduate research assistants, Mira Friedlander. Mira had lunch with the president yesterday at Zingerman’s and introduced him before her speech, which means that she is now making the rounds by speaking to Wisconsin Public Radio and other media outlets. I think that we are seeing the beginnings of a star in the making!
