On March 24th<\/sup>, students from Professor Cheryl Coan\u2019s Service Learning course, \u2018History of Activism,\u2019 as well as a handful of other MIAD students who joined of their own accord, marched in solidarity with students and others across the country.<\/p>\n

Cheryl had invited her students to participate in the march, think about it critically, and reflect on their experience.  THIS is Service Learning.<\/p>\n

The March For Our Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you read this, students around the U.S. are continuing to rally for more effective gun control laws.  Many of them are the creators and initiators of the March For Our Lives<\/a>, which was sparked following the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas School in Parkland, Florida on Valentine’s Day this year, itself the latest iteration of a decades-long trend of school shootings in America.  The march took place on March 24th in cities all over the nation, including here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where participants marched from the Milwaukee County Courthouse to City Hall.<\/p>\n

MIAD Service Learning students marched together from MIAD to the Courthouse with hand-crafted signs in tow.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
