Urban Youth Symposium
November 20, 2009Rutgers–Camden Campus
Sponsored by the Office of the President and the Office of the Chancellor.
Hosted by the Departments of Childhood Studies, English and Public Policy and
Administration.
The Urban Youth Symposium will bring together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners to engage in roundtable discussions about the topic of urban youth today. Unlike traditional academic conferences, this symposium will unite many different voices as a means to engage in intellectual conversation about issues affecting minority young people in urban places. The symposium will highlight the work being done on campus and in our community and set that work within a larger context of practitioners, writers, activists, theorists, and academics. Rutgers–Camden’s own Future Scholars will participate in this event.
Professional development hours will be given. Please join us by registering online.
The symposium will be held on the Rutgers–Camden Campus and is FREE and open to the public. For more information, please contact Lynne Vallone, chair of the Department of Childhood Studies.
