Hosted by the Office of Civic & Community Engagement, and spearheaded by Wake Forest senior, Zach Bynum, the College Advocacy Summit debuted on March 22 at Wake Forest University in an effort to share resources and strategies on how to organize and advocate for social justice issues. Over 50 students from Wake Forest, Catawba College, and Guillford College were in attendance.
Zyahna Bryant, an award-winning student activist, community organizer, and author, who organized her first demonstration, a rally for Justice for Trayvon Martin at age 12, served as the keynote speaker. She inspired students in attendance to get involved in social justice movements and take action against racism, inequity, and other forms of oppression.
