This is going to be really cool.

Next Saturday, the student government of St. John’s University in Queens will be hosting a day-long University Think Tank for student government leaders. The event is intended to give students from around New York a chance to learn from each other, exchange ideas and questions, and build a new citywide network of activists.

And I’ll be giving the keynote speech — my first public speaking engagement in New York City in almost a year.

Attendance at the conference is free, and includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There’ll be discussion sessions, workshops, and other events, with plenty of chances for networking and making connections. St. John’s is easily accessible by car or public transportation.

A dozen campuses are already expected to attend — CUNY and private schools, community colleges and universities. There’s still time to RSVP, too: just drop conference coordinator Ish Sanchez a line at uttcoalition@gmail.com by March 25.
