Spring 2009During their fall 2008 GLS 101 class, students participated in a Global Education Advocacy Campaign. Students chose projects such as fundraising; writing letters to Political figures and created educational displays as a way to educate others about global education issues and advocate for education as a basic human right for all individuals across the world.
As a result of this campaign, the GLS class of 2012 raised $2,362.22 for the Baraka school in Maasailand, Africa and mailed out over 150 letters to Senators, Congressmen and local newspapers. The donations raised will buy much needed school supplies for the students and help with school building repairs. The school supplies and money will be delivered when Dr. Arens, Dean of International Academic Programs and Stony Brook students visit Africa in June of 2009.
In the summer of 2008, Josh Phillips and two fellow advocates formed the group East Coast Walkers and successfully completed a 1,800 mile walk from Miami to Boston to raise awareness about sexual violence. This program recounts some of those stories and aims towards inspiring others to creatively engage in everyday activism in an effort to create dialogue about social justice and the issues that affect us all.
