Special Guests and an Important Topic at UN DAY Event
An enthusiastic crowd of students, politicians, activists, and other concerned citizens gathered at the International Institute this past Saturday evening to discuss Food Insecurity in the world and in the St. Louis community. Guests enjoyed delicious food from the Little Angels Foundation, keeping in mind that over 800 million people in the world go to bed hungry every night. The evening's agenda included brief talks from Mayor Tishaura Jones; Kenny Murdock, St. Louis County Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; Himaja Nigireddy, United Nations US Youth Observer who joined virtually from Rome, Italy; and David McFarland, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of International Organization Affairs. After hearing from professionals discuss food insecurity in the world and community, a panel of very generous people shared what they do and how they do it to insure everyone in the greater St. Louis area has enough food to eat every day.
Kudos to the many Civitas students who came to this enlightening event!

come to a stop. We will all most likely be surprised by some outcomes and confused by others. Join Civitas for a virtual post-election discussion on Wednesday, November 9th at 7:00 pm via Zoom. We will have two former Civitas interns, Reece Ellis and Claire Shackleford, highlight results in Missouri and beyond. This will be an excellent chance to better understand what the wins and losses might mean for our state and country. Your questions will be the focus of the conversation.
