Democracy Lab Meet Up

DemocracyLab Meetup 10/25 @ 6:00 PM, Neumont University Room 300 - Pizza provided, RSVP now.
More about DemocracyLab: According to a recent survey, only 41% of Americans believe government is run for the benefit of all the people. Another study found that only one-third of Americans feel that their opinions matter to government. What can we do to change this? Technology creates new opportunities to engage people to solve problems, but no platforms have emerged that effectively engage citizens and meet the needs of government and other stakeholders. DemocracyLab is a nonprofit organization creating online tools to help people identify problems, construct solutions, make decisions, and take collaborative action.

Neumont Events

Neumont has a lot to offer in terms activities and events. The weeks and weekends here during the quarters and during breaks are jam packed with activities and events for students. Activities such as career week, club activities and Nerdapalooza offer students ways to escape the everyday hustle and bustle of the Neumont class life. The events offered off campus are usually offered at a reduced cost and are usually pretty extensive. The events no matter where they are held are always something students should take advantage of.

The pros to attending events here at Neumont are endless. They tend to relieve homesickness and they also tend to create connections between people. At Neumont the most important thing is being able to create connections with your fellow student and other professionals already in the industry. Attending the events offered here is the single most important activity you can do as a student to grow your tree of connections.
