Program Details
The Center’s Valuing Open and Inclusive Conversation and Engagement (VOICE) Initiative provides up to $5,000 in funding for UC students, staff and faculty who are interested in conducting research or coordinating programs and activities that further the mission of the Center.
The morning of the #SpeechMatters 2020 conference, VOICE award recipients 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.
