Poverty, Equity, and their Influencing Factors: A REACH Symposium
Registration is now open for POVERTY, EQUITY, AND THEIR INFLUENCING FACTORS: A REACH SYMPOSIUM Featuring Guest Speaker: Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer-Prize Winning Author of Evicted and NYT Best-Seller
This symposium aims to engage the Rutgers community, our community partners, leaders and members, and external stakeholders, including funders and policymakers, in a candid conversation around poverty and its influencing factors. This day will also be a showcase of the work of REACH through our collaborative learning tables and our grantees. Sessions will feature panel discussions and presentations by Rutgers faculty and researchers, community leaders, and others that center around the key social determinants upon which REACH’s work is focused – education, employment, food access and food security, housing and population health – and their interconnectedness with racial justice, poverty and health.
