Civic Engagement Saturdays: Representative Charles Booker Graduate Student Congress

The University of Kentucky Graduate Student Congress (GSC) will host Kentucky Rep. Charles Booker as part of its third “Civic Engagement Saturdays” series. The conversation will take place 1-3 p.m. EDT Saturday, Oct. 31, on Zoom. Registration is required.

The series, which began this semester, invites prominent Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) to speak with undergraduate, graduate, professional and postdoctoral students about recognizing yourself in politics, how to get involved in politics and effecting change in your community(ies).

The talks are held on the last Saturday of the month during the academic year, and in an effort to amplify the voices of BIPOC students on campus, the conversations are moderated by BIPOC student and postdoc leaders at UK. This month’s conversation will be moderated by Erome Hankore, a postdoc in the UK College of Pharmacy.
