Alumni Panel
Culture, Identity, and Representation in DC

This panel will explore how culture, identity, lived experiences, and representation influence policy conversations and how different communities and perspectives are included, elevated, or sometimes left out of decision-making spaces. Panelists might share experiences working in advocacy, government, nonprofits, communications, public affairs, community engagement, or other spaces that shape the way policy priorities are defined and advanced on Capitol Hill. 

Gun Violence
Gun Violence Prevention Policy in DC, Baltimore, and California

UCDC is organizing a public, cross-city conversation on what it takes to prevent gun violence, sustain community-based safety work, and build policy and research infrastructure that is accountable to communities. The event will be followed by a closed UC faculty workshop focused on building a UC-wide gun violence prevention research and policy network.
