Greetings, Do you find yourself day-dreaming about a relaxing summer watching TV and drinking smoothies all day as you're toiling away at a thankless summer job, struggling to save up money to pay for tuition next year? Do you know someone who is working a demanding job (or two!) that requires personal sacrifice in order to par for the unreasonable cost of higher education in this country (and we all know someone!)? We need your help capturing these stories for USSA's Summer Job Testimonial Project! Over the next two weeks, USSA will collect stories in the form of digital video testimonials from students who are struggling this summer to pay for school. We plan to showcase these stories as a tool for motivating political leaders to take action to meet the needs of students and pass legislations that support young people entering the workforce. The top 15 video clips that we receive from students will be
compiled into one DVD that we will share with politicians and
the media. Finalists will receive a USSA t-shirt and one
testimonial judged as the best will receive a free registration
to USSA's National Student Congress in Boulder, CO.
We hope to hear your stories and continue working with you in making education a right for all!
Ps. This Sunday is the Early Registration Deadline for USSA's 62nd Annual National Student Congress! As a national student run and led organization, USSA's power lies within our membership. Every year, representatives from member campuses across the country come together at the National Student Congress to elect USSA's leadership and national campaign priorities for the coming year. This year's Congress is taking place at the University of Colorado- Boulder from July 21-26! Conference attendees are organized into campus-based delegations. Register your delegation HERE! |
