Prepare as Census 2020 approaches. The April 1, 2020 census presents an opportunity to bridge students’ learning with their future careers, foster action on social issues students care about, and build the power and representation of historically undercounted communities through student and community participation. This webinar will help faculty develop course plans and staff create programming that will bring the census to life.

Building on work currently underway on campuses in multiple states, campus representatives will share their tools and strategies to engage the census.
