Community Co-Sponsors:
What is a community co-sponsor?
Many organizations in the Pacific Northwest, including in Eugene, are grappling with the core questions of this symposium in their own day-to-day work. Community Co-Sponsors are organizations outside of the university that find a synergy between the core questions of the symposiums and questions they engage with in their work. In endorsing the symposium, they have found that the speakers and panels would be useful for their members and/or staff to attend. Community co-sponsors agree to advertise the public events to their membership and are encouraged to have their staff members attend the event.
