Hello CASCers!
Did you know that the CASC minor is celebrating 10 Years? As part of the celebration, we rolled out our PodCASC. An ongoing series of interviews that feature the diverse stories of CASC Alumni who share highs, lows, and other revelations about community action and social change after college. Alumni discuss a range of issues, like finding a social justice community in a new city, navigating social justice language in different work cultures, finding a balance between their passion and capacity, and much more.
All the best,
CASC Staff
