IV. STANDCamp!
STAND National has recently gone through a significant
restructuring process, revising its chapter leadership system in order to better accommodate the resourcing and training needs of local chapters. Accordingly, STAND is hosting a summer retreat for student activist representatives from across the country, which will feature training sessions from a variety of professionals in the field of foreign policy, social media, and grassroots organizing. The retreat, which will take place between July 18 and July 25, will be located at a retreat center one hour outside of DC. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me at
de...@georgetown.edu.
All the best,
Daniel Solomon
