Prepare as Census 2020 approaches.

This webinar will help faculty develop course plans and staff create programming that will bring the census to life. Building on work currently underway on campuses in multiple states, campus representatives will share their tools and strategies to engage the census.Campus Compact’s National Webinar series returns for 2019-2020 with more to support and inspire you.
