Civic Journey Spotlights are special Civic Cafe events that connect students with local civic leaders, who share the life experiences that shaped their path and led them to a life of public service. Civic Journey Spotlights offer students real-life examples of how to get involved in social change, a deeper understanding of the St. Louis region, and a chance to reflect on their own civic pathways, values, and commitments.
The Gephardt Institute is thrilled to welcome Mayor Cara Spencer, Mayor of the City of St. Louis, for a Civic Café Civic Journey Spotlight on Wednesday, Feb. 18 from 5:30 – 7 p.m. in the Clark-Fox Forum in Hillman Hall.
The Gephardt Institute’s fifth annual Civic Action Weeks is Feb. 16-27! Across campus, WashU students, faculty, and staff will host more than 20 events — including panels, film screenings, arts and crafting, trivia and Q&A events with St. Louis leaders — to help address and share about the issues they care about, to spark civic dialogue and inspire civic action. Civic Action Weeks events provide the learning and community building that leads to strategic and sustainable civic engagement. Events are open to the WashU community, so please share with your students and colleagues.
