Millennials and Generation Z are the future politicians, critical thinkers, and leaders that will soon try to fix all the mistakes the Boomers handed us. That’s why the Dymally Institute is focusing on those students by hosting the 2nd annual Dymally Institute symposium on March 11.
Titled “Thinking Lives Matter ” the symposium will focus on careers and lines of work that Millennials and Generation Z should consider.
(For the Bulletin story on the first symposium, go here).
There will be eight to 10 panelists representing different industries, including three CSUDH faculty members. Participants will include members of local school boards, educators, the chief operating officer of Rap Snacks, and student leaders from CSUDH’s United Greek Council.
There will be two-panel discussions, Reach Back to Pull Forward,” and “The Power of Civic Engagement: Across Campus, Communities and Beyond.”
The Dymally Institute is a non-partisan policy center located on the fourth floor of the North Library. The Institute prides itself on being a “think tank,” and, “intellectual hub,” for both the university and the greater Los Angeles area, said Anthony Onwuegbuzia, a student assistant at the Institute.
The symposium will take place in Loker Student Union, Ballroom C on March 11 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided, but be sure to RSVP because space is limited.
