Program Details

Our inaugural class of VOICE award recipients represented students, staff and faculty from all 10 UC campuses. Their projects ranged from web zines and podcasts to skill building workshops, seminars and conferences.

On the morning of the #SpeechMatters 2020 conference, the 2020 cohort and Center Fellows spent two hours discussing dialogue and civic engagement on campus. President Napolitano joined the group to answer questions and share her insights. See the photos here.
