Speaker: Cicely Peng, Founder, Cicely Education Aid Charity Fund; Professional Fellow, WEAI, Columbia University 

Moderator: Xiaobo Lü, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Political Science, Barnard College, Columbia University

Eighteen years, 21 impoverished counties, and an 80% higher-education enrollment rate—behind these figures lies the raw reality of rural education in Western China. This talk draws on nearly two decades of speaker Cicely Peng's deep-dive observations and on-site volunteer work to facilitate a candid dialogue on the dilemmas of volunteer-based social work and the persistent pursuit of social equity.

Pizza and refreshments will be provided at this event!
