Virginia 21’s Hangout for Higher Ed

Virginia 21 is an organization that is all about making college affordable. It’s an organization that provides information for college students; those who may not be super informed, but hold the most importance when it comes to being informed about an issue that effects them so greatly: higher education.  VA 21 does their best to engage young people in the legislative and poltiical process in our Commonwealth, paritcularly when it coems to policies that affect higher education.  I’ve been involved with it from the day I knew what it was – during my junior year in 2010 – because of how important I believe it is for students to become democratically engaged.  I’m ecstatic that such a great organization is able to pull of such a great event.

If you’re in the Commonwealth of Virginia, you probably know that there are two great gentleman who are up for the top spot Virginia. Today’s event is a live-stream-able Google Hangout between the two and is happening NOW! You can tweet the has tag #va21hangout and the questions may be asked to the next governor of the Commonwealth.
