Structural Inequalities and Proposed Capstone
A structural inequality that I have become more attuned to is inaccessibility to healthcare. The UHI Clinic provides healthcare to uninsured people.

My routine with PIRG and shaping my capstone
As I work on the PIRG National Textbook Affordability Campaign, I have become more attuned to several structural inequalities within my community that directly impact textbook affordability.

Many students come from low-income backgrounds and struggle to afford the high costs of textbooks, which can often exceedContinue reading “My routine with PIRG and shaping my capstone”
