Please join the Civic and Community Engagement Office for the webinar "Establishing a Fund for Anchor Institutions and National Work Initiative: Pursuing Just and Equitable Communities in Light of COVID-19," presented by David Maurrassee from Marga Incorporated; Nancy Cantor, chancellor of Rutgers University–Newark; and Paul Pribbenow, president of Augsburg University, on Monday, December 13, at 1:00 p.m. This event is presented by the CUMU Learning and Sharing Virtual Series and is free to members of the Buffalo State community.
The Anchor Institutions Task Force (AITF) has been circulating a policy brief calling for a Fund for Anchor Institutions and a Work Initiative, both of which would create greater alignment between government at all levels and anchor institutions toward rebuilding and reimagining communities in the years to come. AITF director David Maurrasse and leaders of anchor institutions from AITF’s membership—Nancy Cantor and Paul Pribbenow—will discuss the policy brief, the need to strengthen and expand the democratic engagement of anchor institutions in their communities, and the experiences of anchor institutions in partnerships that are confronting the most pressing issues facing localities.
This event is presented by the CUMU Learning and Sharing Virtual Series and is free to members of the Buffalo State community. Please register online for this webinar and any others in the series that may interest you.
