Rep.
Jan Schakowsky Visits Oakton April 13 |
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) will discuss a wide range of topics, from education funding to the Patriot Act, Tuesday, April 13, at 11 a.m., during a visit with students and community members at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road. The public is encouraged to attend this free event. Parking is available in Lots A and D.
During the first part of her talk, Rep. Schakowsky will discuss the importance of voter participation in the upcoming November election, and topics such as work force development, shrinking financial aid for students, and the future of higher education in America. She will respond to audience questions during the remainder of her hour-long appearance, which will be broadcast live on Oakton's cable channel, and repeated in the coming months.
Rep. Schakowsky's visit stems from her recent meeting in Washington, D.C., with members of the Oakton Board of Trustees. Lina Hoffman, student trustee, invited Schakowsky to the College on behalf of the Board of Student Affairs.
The program is open to Oakton faculty, staff, and students, as well as community residents. Rep. Schakowsky's district includes Des Plaines, Evanston, Niles, Park Ridge, Skokie, and Wilmette. Voter registration forms and certified registrars will be available for those with questions or who wish to vote in November.
