The Gephardt Institute is thrilled to welcome Kaveh Razani for a Civic Journey Spotlight.

A Civic Café Civic Journey Spotlight aims to connect students with local civic leaders. These leaders share the story of how their life experiences shaped their path and led them to the type of civic work they do now, as well as their perspective on civic engagement and social change. Civic Journey Spotlights offer students real-life examples of how to get involved in social change, a deeper understanding of the St. Louis region, and a chance to reflect on their own civic pathways, values and commitments.

Please RSVP in advance.
