Borough President Oddo will have a face-to-face conversation with high school students (specifically, members of the schools’ media clubs) who are invited to record it and report back to their student bodies, on February 3 at 4:30 PM at PS 48, Concord. The event, A Conversation with the Class of 2015, is a private opportunity for civic-minded students to ask the BP questions about the Island and its future.
“As we begin the New Year, this event is an opportunity for high school students to speak with me face-to-face and ask questions,” Oddo said. “Students are our future leaders and I believe it is very important to hear their perspective on local issues and let them know about all the wonderful things going on in our community.”
Oddo said, “I want to expand our reach to people who traditionally have not been a part of various events. Our ‘Direct Connect’ Sunday will give Staten Islanders direct access to me and my staff to hear from us firsthand what we are doing and to let us help them however we can. Our conversation with high school students will show them what active civic engagement means. I believe these events are representative of my style of governing and will give us an opportunity to many people.”
