This Thursday we start off Amnesty's events for the fall with a Student Speakers event. Many Trinity students have done some amazing work over the past few summers such as internships and projects and will talk about their experiences to other students. These students have done amazing work such as working with incarcerated people in Connecticut or volunteering in Sierra Leone. They will answer questions and show photos, too. It's an informal event and will be held over a pizza dinner. The event is open to all students, Amnesty members or not, so bring friends! At least, it's a great way to learn about summer internships and work in general. It will compliment the Common Hour event held earlier the same day by the Human Rights Studies department, which will consist of presentations by students who had the program's competitive Human Rights Summer Fellowships.
In addition, this event is an opportunity to give students a feel of the work that Trinity's Amnesty chapter does, and show them what they are getting involved in or would like to in the future. We meet every Tuesday night at 9 p.m. in the Office of Community Service & Civic Engagement.
Keep looking for more from this blog & hope to see you Thursday night!
