Campus Plans Teach-In to Discuss Occupy Movement

UC Merced will hold a teach-in on campus Dec. 7 to give students, faculty and staff a chance to discuss the many issues raised by the Occupy movements that have spread across the nation.

The teach-in will be from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Joseph Edward Gallo Gymnasium. Faculty members will share their thoughts and insight on this and other movements, and students who recently traveled to New York to interview Occupy Wall Street participants will also present.

The teach-in is cosponsored by the Office of the Chancellor, the Academic Senate, Associated Students of UC Merced, the Graduate Student Association and the Division of Student Affairs.

More information on the teach-in will be available next week.
