Framingham State University’s Whittemore Library has received a $7,500 grant it plans to use to increase civic engagement among students.
The federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant was issued by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. The funds will be used in a project to include the production of podcasts and videos engaging students in civic issues by interviewing them and thought leaders in the community; the creation of a student photo exhibit of scenes exploring current political issues; lectures and panel discussions on the state of democracy in America and racial healing training.
“This is an exciting opportunity to engage our students in important civic issues, like the first amendment, climate change and racism, during an election year,” said Millie Gonzalez, interim dean of Whittemore Library. “We are grateful to the MBLC for its support of this ambitious Initiative.”
These activities will begin in October to coincide with the presidential campaign this November.
