After launching remotely during the pandemic, Quarter at Aggie Square’s immersive learning experiences are meeting in Sacramento this fall. Transformative Justice Studies in Sacramento and Biomedical Engineering at the Health Campus are taking full advantage of the opportunity to meet in person. "The programs were immersive from the first day,” said program coordinator Angela Taylor.

On Wednesday, November 3, 2021 at 12 pm, the UC Davis Women & Philanthropy’s Speaker Series Maisha Winn and LeShelle May discussed: “Histories and Futures: Restoring Justice and Transforming Education."  Maisha Winn explored the intersection of justice and education and how her background has informed her career and her mission

COVID-19 is also changing the way schooling and education operate in the United States. Many important questions linger throughout the pandemic: Are schools going to open and stay open? Will teachers be safe while instructing in person? What happens to working parents who have to work outside of their homes while their kids learn virtually? What is the social-emotional impact on kids?

“This evaluation gives insight into effective strategies of how community leaders and organizations in partnership with government and philanthropic entities create change,” said Torry Winn, who was co-author of the study. “There were many challenges to overcome; however, hope for better futures was the driving force.” 

Maisha Winn called BCLC’s efforts a “progressive forward-thinking approach. The campaign is multi-layered, deep rooted, and a collaboration of elders, youth, educators, coaches, clergy, police, elected officials and nonprofit leads.”
