With the exception of the STAND National Conference, there are few times a year I enjoy more than the holiday season. Sometimes, it’s easy to get preoccupied with finals, gift exchanges, and parties—forgetting genocide entirely. After all, global genocide may not be the most festive of subjects to discuss over eggnog. But there is at least one way to keep up the dialogue on conflict-prevention: via electronics!
In our next installment of spotlighted chapters, this week we’re highlighting the University of Texas White Rose Society, who sent a 5 person delegation to the End Genocide Action Summit on October, including STAND Communications Coordinator Shomya Tripathy and STAND Communications Task Force Blogger Zoya Waliany. Thanks guys for coming to the Summit!
In our continuing series of spotlighted chapters, this week we’re profiling University of New Hampshire STAND. UNH sent an astonishing eight upSTANDers to the End Genocide Action Summit in October.
Thanks to UNH STAND for coming out to the Summit!
