The world today faces a multitude of challenges – violent conflicts disrupt education and stability, a polarized online environment fosters negativity, and persistent economic inequality limits opportunities. These issues threaten not only individual futures but also the overall stability of societies. It is crucial to equip youth with the skills needed to foster a culture of peace, nurture responsible global citizens, and promote sustainable development, in order to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future for all. In the spirit of cultivating a more inclusive space, we’re unpacking May East’s “Leverage Point 2 – Developing spaces for gathering and belonging” – where summer youth interns of LSU-Leadership for Social Uplift relook at their everyday public spaces with lens of curiosity. Seeing what that place means to them, what makes that place unique, is the place living up to its full potential?

The Shared Leadership Network met to explore the topic of Meaningfully Involving Families and Communities. THIS IS WHAT WE LEARNED: Meaningfully involving students, families, and communities goes beyond asking for their opinions. It means intentionally involving them in the design process, actively encouraging families and community organizations to be on campus and involved in student activities, and valuing families as experts in their larger communities. Here are some examples ⬇️ ➡️ Teams devote time and funds for home visits, encouraging parent participation in some projects and internships, allowing students to gain credit while working to better their communities. ➡️ Teams decide to adopt a year-round schedule or adjust daily start and end times to better meet the needs of the students and community. ➡️ Teams advance a bilingual and bicultural program that is different from the district’s standard language immersion. ➡️ Teams decide to use a community schools model to meet the needs of the whole community, including offering medical and dental services, opening their campuses after school hours for activities and adult education, and providing social services connections.

Welcome back to our #SSWShootingStar features where we will be highlighting our current students and their accomplishments as they shoot for the stars until they become the next #SSWSuperWorkers after graduation! Keep reading to learn more about this year's College of Health Sciences Student Marshall, Ayanna Pinder! Q: What tips you have on staying on top of your classes? A: Tips I have on staying on top of class work would be to ask questions, don't be afraid to admit you don’t understand something. In order to be successful you must understand the work you’re doing. I also set academic goals for myself that help me stay on top of my work and managed my time wisely in order to complete assignments. I do play on the women’s soccer team as well at Jackson State University so putting time aside for academics was always necessary. With that being said, I’m a part of the women’s soccer team here at Jackson state University and the Bob Owens Pre Law Program at Jackson State University. I’m also a part of the Phi Alpha Honor Society and Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society. Q:Why do you want to be a social worker? A: My end goal is not to just be a social worker, but I do want to attend law school after graduation and eventually become a lawyer. I plan to also continue my internship in the summer as well! Q:What is your favorite class and why? A: My favourite class would have to be the integrative seminar class. This class allowed us to discuss specific practices in social work related to our internship. This was also the class that I was told I was the student marshal, which holds the highest gpa in the social work graduating class of 2024. I’ve also gotten closer to classmates in this class and  enjoyed being taught under Dr. Loggins and Dr. Wallace. Please help us in congratulating Ayanna on a job well done! We cannot wait to see where Social Work leads her!

As I move into my macro policy specialization year at Louisiana State University, I am so blessed to annouce my fall internship. I’ll be working for the National Association of Social Workers’ Texas and Louisiana Chapters. During this time I will research and analyze state legislation from a societal lens. #NASW #PublicPolicyResearch

For the Spring 2024 semester, CPF POSC 395 Policy Research Internship students explored how eminent domain affected communities in south Los Angeles, especially Black communities within California’s 37th Congressional district. Students examined its impacts on land ownership, generational wealth, and community prosperity. They presented their extensive research and recommendations to our partner, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove. Sofia Connors, a sophomore majoring in Political Science, said, "I was grateful to take part in the POSC 395 Policy Research Internship. I learned about the ways the government has historically used eminent domain to target minority communities in Los Angeles, segregating them and gentrifying their communities. This internship taught me about the foundations Los Angeles was built upon, that many fail to acknowledge. It is rewarding to know we could be making an impact on policy, potentially getting reparations for the countless Black families displaced by eminent domain and had their homes taken." A huge shout out to Sofia Connors, Sydney Crowley, Christian Haro, Juan Herdoiza, and Bright Lee for your outstanding work on this project!

An incredible and rewarding experience completing my first year as a Professor of Public Policy at the University of Redlands 🎉 Engaging students and watching them learn was a joy. Thank you to all my students for an unforgettable year. We all need to remember that at the heart of a university is its classes and students’ collective learning experience 📚 Below are some humbling comments from my students. Your feedback encourages me to continue improving! *"Professor Aguilera is one of the few professors in which I have the outmost respect for based on how he treats his students. He listens and recognizes the external stressors and other classes of his students appropriately while also engaging them throughout class." *"He makes us aware of many extracurricular activities and opportunities such as internships, fellowships, clubs, and more, all of which would help us have a future career in public policy or just expand our learning overall." *"Very informative and made public policy as somebody who’s never dabbled in it, interesting. He keeps students involved in the subject and he made me interested in furthering my career in some form of public policy." *"His amicability. He's just incredibly easy to talk to. Because of that, it doesn't feel like he's too intimidating to ask questions, while also knowing what he's talking about enough to be the guide of the discussion." *"An amazing, well-rounded professor! Would take his class again. I would highly encourage people to take this course."
