2. A Call to Action Individual actions that create a collective good
Collective action that brings change
Collective action that moves others
We create our own limitations. We often think how can “I” do something, I don’t have the influence, I don’t have the money, etc. We often don’t think we have time to create the collective good. My hope today is to share how much our students really need us as a community. My plan is to do this through sharing the need to support students through transitions.
