30 Days 4 Change Challenge
Inspired by journalist Shaan Merchant's "30-Day Justice Plan," the college community will engage in activities from September 28 through October 27 to facilitate learning and motivate change in relation to race and justice. Join us!
Each day during the challenge will be devoted to reading, listening, watching, or acting – moving together toward mutual understanding, equality, and justice.
If you participate in all or part of the challenge, let us know by using the hashtag #PGCCchallenge.
