“Poverty: A Day in the Life” A Public Square Discussion, Nov. 15

In America, nearly 60% of people will live in poverty at some point in their lives. With support available through non-profit organizations and government agencies, why is poverty such an extensive issue?

Join us at the Public Square for an eye-opening experience and discussion around the challenges of poverty, hosted by the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE). This event will take place on Wednesday, November 15, from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m., in Butch’s Den (CUB L60).

Register for this event on CougSync. Public Square discussions are free and open to the public. To learn more about the Public Square initiative, visit https://cce.wsu.edu/publicsquare.
