Highest Office: Citizen
2007 - Justice, Fairness & Equity
May 17, 2007 - Educator Erin Gruwell,
inspiration for the film "Freedom Writers" starring
Hilary Swank, spoke of how she helped change the lives of her
students by fostering education that valued and promoted diversity.
A distinguished group of student and teacher panelists also participated
in the forum, reminding us all of the importance of a quality
education and its role in preparing "everyday" citizens.
In addition, CYC recognized Dr. Rex Fortune, founder of the Project
Pipeline Teacher Credential Program, with our Highest Office:
Citizen Award.
