and learning about the "Pathways to Politics" STUDIO 2B destination! |
What is "Pathways to
Politics" all about?
"Pathways to
Politics" is a STUDIO 2B destination that allowed forty-one "movers
and shakers" to get a firsthand look at the impressive
roles of women in politics—then and now, while staying in a dorm on the
beautiful campus of Douglass College. In the Garden State, these girls
toured Rutgers University's Center for American Women and
Politics. They joined lively discussions on leadership
training and team building and visited the new Constitution Center in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Another thing these girls did was spend
three exciting days in our nation's capital, and they were also a part of an
award-winning program on women in politics. They had a chance to talk
politics with community activists, elected and appointed officials, and to
see community service in action. The girls also crossed the Hudson to Hyde
Park, New York, to honor the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt at the Eleanor
Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill, and when they were finished politicking, a
day of fun in the sun at the Jersey shore awaited them.
