Brought to WCC by The Democracy Commitment group. The reason for the summit is to, “advance democracy in the community college,” said Kristin Good, dean of arts & sciences. Introduced by a faculty member, the tour stop at WCC is following a presentation at Delta College in Saginaw.
The goal of Democracy Commitment is to ensure, “that every student of an American community college graduates with an education in citizenship and democracy,” according to their website.
Dean Good sees the workshop as an opportunity to learn about the democratic process, “how to find your voice and how to be able to advocate for yourself,” she said.
