For:Ìý Fall Break Civil Rights Tour

Ìý

When & Where will this Event Occur:Ìý Thursday, October 14th-Saturday, October 15th. The trip will go to Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery, Alabama and Atlanta, GA.

Ìý

Master Calendar Confirmation:Ìý not needed

Ìý

Event Details: MDC and the Dean of Students are collaborating on an exciting opportunity for ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Students.Ìý We are completing plans to take 13 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Students on a Civil Rights experience over fall-break weekend.Ìý Students would visit historic civil rights sites in Birmingham (AL), Selma (AL), Montgomery (AL) and Atlanta (GA).Ìý The trip would leave campus early on Thursday, October 14th and would return late on Saturday, October 15th.

Ìý

Instead of offering this trip as a first come-first serve opportunity, we are offering one seat on the trip to 13 different organizations.Ìý The idea is to find a way to create a representative group and to encourage discussion between various groups.Ìý We are asking Student Senate to fund this proposal because the groups would most likely approach Senate for funding each of the delegates.Ìý ÌýÌý

Ìý

We will also have a student videographer participate in the trip who will interview students prior to departure and after we return. ÌýThe plan is to create a short video about the experience and share that video with the campus during a panel discussion.Ìý We are likely to schedule this discussion as part of a project Pedicles forum or during MLK week.

Ìý

The entire cost of the trip should be $1800 which will cover transportation, lodging, admission to museums and 3 meals for all participants.Ìý
