“The perfect choice … phenomenal … student reactions were enthusiastically positive.”

– Kelley Schacht, United Council of University of Wisconsin Students

I speak frequently on campuses and at conferences on the history of student activism and student government, and on the state of the American student movement today. I’m also available to participate in student leadership training sessions as a speaker, a workshop leader, or a facilitator.

In December 2009 I appeared on a panel discussion of college affordability and student activism at the Center for American Progress in Washington, DC. In the second half of 2009 I also appeared at the NYC Grassroots Media Conference, where I discussed the use of Twitter in student organizing, at the USSA National Student Congress at the University of Colorado, where I spoke on campus organizing techniques and facilitated a workshop on white anti-racist activism, and at a symposium on student activism in Zagreb, Croatia, where I discussed contemporary American student protest.

In the spring and summer of 2010 my engagements included another address at the Center for American Progress, a keynote and workshop at a conference of United Council, the Wisconsin state student association, a presentation at the annual legislative conference of the United States Student Association, and an address to a citywide gathering of student government leaders in New York. I also chaired a plenary session of the USSA National Student Congress, and advised student leaders there on the effective use of Robert’s Rules of Order.
