Real issues. Real conversations. Real funny.

Join us for a small group conversation on the biggest issues facing community college students. You'll connect with students from across Minnesota you'll find out about how to be part of the change by joining the conversation online on September 29th!

This event will feel like you are sitting in a virtual cafe, but your barista will be replaced by an improv comedy actor from The Theater of Public Policy  that will bring the group conversation to life. Just bring a desire to chat, your humor, and a passion to make an impact.
