The National Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement meeting, hosted jointly
by the American Democracy Project, The Democracy Commitment, and NASPA
have selected Honors College Sophomore Manisha Vepa, Global Studies and Financial Economics double major, from a large, national pool of applicants as one of three student interns with responsibility for helping to shape the content of the conference.

The ADP, TDC and NASPA communities seek to increase the breadth and depth of the civic learning and engagement work that we are all committed to across our institutions—both public and private. All three organizations are dedicated to ensuring that students graduate from our colleges and universities prepared to be the informed, engaged citizens that our communities and our democracy need. Fostering academic and student affairs partnerships and collaborations on our individual campuses and across our initiatives and associations is imperative to this mutual goal.

This year's meeting will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana from June 2nd - 4th. Manisha is also a Sondheim Public Affairs Scholar, involved with SGA, Breaking Ground and many other activities.
