November 2018: A Time for Change
Vote, Volunteer, Give Back
This November, we’re excited to celebrate civic engagement and giving back. To kick off the season of making a difference, we are focusing on three actions to affect positive change: Vote, Volunteer, Give Back.
We want to hear how alumni, who are known for their commitment to social change, are doing their part to carry out the New School mission. Whether you have an “I Voted” selfie or have volunteered with an organization, we want to hear how you are an agent of change. Use the #NewSchoolAlumni hashtag to share your story or email us at alumni@newschool.edu.
Here are additional resources to get you started on your “A Time for Change” story.
VOTE
Make your voice heard. The New School continues to play a part in the voting process and in civic engagement. Take a look at their current projects and resources to guide you this election season here.
VOLUNTEER
Give your time. Every year, New School alumni volunteer to support students, social innovation, entrepreneurship, and community service. Be part of this tradition by participating in a range of opportunities.
