I hope to see you there! ---- Wednesday, March 18th, 6:30-8:30pm Student Union Ballroom West, 4th Floor Kosher meal will be available What does it meant to provide a quality education? Who has access to it? Why do some groups have difficulty accessing quality education? How can we change that? Join a panel of educators, academics, and policy-makers as we discuss the issue of quality education. Panel discussion will be followed by small group discussions led by CERRU students and a Q&A to wrap things up. Panelists include: Dr. Limarys Caraballo Assistant Professor of English Education in the Department of Secondary Education and Youth Services at Queens College.
