Our annual Civic Action Week will take place from Feb. 17-24, and it’s an event series that spotlights civic and community engagement opportunities for students across WashU. This year’s Civic Action Week aims to emphasize that civic engagement goes beyond elections, and there are many ways we can have an impact that can extend to engagement with our communities and the social issues that are important to us.
The events are presented not only by Gephardt, but by student groups, WashU schools, and departments who propose and put on Civic Action Week programming. Gephardt leads the overall effort, supports student groups with event planning, and promotes all events. For student groups, we also provide up to $500 to help put the event on.

If you have an idea for an event, please submit it here! Contact Alannah Glickman with questions
