WPA Conference

jasonmj — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:12:45 +0000

In 2008 many of us understand that our nation - and even the entire planet - are in a state of crisis. The deep longing for positive, lasting change is the bedrock upon which this conference is based. How do we fix our country and our world? And how can we form one mass movement to address the crisis?

In Radford, Virginia on May 22-25, thousands of activists, academics, journalists, poets, musicians and policymakers will converge at the 2008 “Building a New World” Conference. If you want to participate in building a new world, sign up now. Hotel and dorm rooms are limited.

The Big Event is Virginia Tech’s largest community service project. It is one day where Virginia Tech students come together to say thanks to the surrounding communities in the New River Valley for being a gracious host to us for nine months out of the year and for their continuous support of the University. On this day, more than 3,000 students will complete over 450 service projects ranging from painting to yard work to trash pickup for residents of the surrounding communities. Through The Big Event, Student Government Association aims to strengthen the relationship between Virginia Tech and the communities we impact throughout the year.
