Did you know that, according to the US Census Bureau, 6 in 10 young adults live within 10 miles of where they grew up and 8 in 10 live within 100 miles of where they grew up. If, as statistics indicate, we do not stray far from where we grow up and also have little control over the place where we grow up, shouldn’t we have an understanding of how that place, its culture and resources, or lack thereof, impact our lives? Looking forward to learning more at this discussion.
A discussion with the authors of a compelling new study of poverty, "The Injustice of Place," will be free and open to the public 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, in the William T. Young Library Auditorium.

Acquire wisdom through the act of sharing knowledge.
Embarking on a year-long celebration as we mark the 125th anniversary of United for Literacy (formerly Frontier College) in 2024! 🎉 Founded by Alfred Fitzpatrick in 1899, our journey began with The Canadian Reading Camp Movement, bringing literacy to remote communities. Fitzpatrick’s approach—every place is a learning place—established a new way for adult education and basic literacy to be taught in Canada. This was before other educational and government institutions recognized the importance of literacy outreach programs. You can learn more about our history by reading our historical timeline on our website. https://lnkd.in/e5GircDJ When did you first hear about United for Literacy?
