I was thrilled to have 200 students from 17 high schools across the 41st Senatorial District take part in my 5th Annual Student Government Seminar this year – our largest thus far! This “Senator for a Day” event was held at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Click here to watch my reel.
The day is an opportunity for students to gain a glimpse of how state government functions and how it reacts to public policy issues. An opening presentation was held, along with two sessions during the day, which all allowed students to interact with each other, as well as with members of the General Assembly, legislative staff, organization advocates, and the media. Students took on the roles of lawmakers, discussing bills, advocating for or against legislation, and drafting laws which they then considered as a legislative body.
My thanks to all who attended and those who helped organize the event. Check out the group photos and candid photos from the day below!
