Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú Tum, 2nd from the left, 2nd row from the bottom, joins with CGO students and some of her friends

On April 17th we were fortunate to have lunch and a conversation with  Rigoberta Menchú Tum, the famous Mayan human rights activist from Guatemala.  Our meeting took place in the Many Nations Longhouse on campus, and began with a festive meal and a light atmosphere.  The Q&A revolved around the importance of advocacy and community, and Rigoberta stressed the important role that youth have to play in advancing critical causes around the world and right here at home.  A wonderful setting and a fabulous guest helped us enjoy a beautiful afternoon talking about activism and ethics!
