Science Advocacy Week event 1: Do You Know Your Government?
In collaboration with GSA, Government Relations and the Career Center, we held a week of science advocacy activities!
Mon 4/30: Do You Know Your Government?
This session is open to everyone! Join GSA for a workshop to brush up on your knowledge of how the government functions, including how a bill becomes a law. Knowing this is the first step to effective advocacy!
Wed 5/2: Science Advocacy Workshop
This session is by (short) application only! Join Dr. Mark Gold and UCLA’s Government Relations for an advocacy training session to give you all the tips and tricks you need for the district office visits.
Fri 5/4: District Office Visits
End your advocacy week by putting your new knowledge and skills to the test with district office visits! We will be visiting the offices of our California state representatives. You will be supplied with talking points for these meetings.
*Note that if you are chosen to participate in the Wednesday and Friday sessions, you may also have the opportunity to join us for a networking breakfast with a former AAAS S&T Policy Fellow!
