About Community Conversations:
The University Community Service Center (UCSC) is pleased to present Community Conversations, a series of conversations between community partners and students about Chicago, civic engagement, and social change. Each quarter, UCSC will select a distinct social challenge and invite those leading efforts to address that challenge in our communities through various sectors to join UChicago student leaders in panel-style discussions.
