It’s all fun & civics at Camp Congress for Girls Los Angeles 2025. Girls study government, run for office & pass a bill.

Camp Congress for Girls Los Angeles 2025 is a leadership program that introduces girls to United States politics. Camp begins with a lesson on the structure of our political system. Each girl will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency. She will create her own campaign with a platform, campaign finance plan, and film a political ad. All campers will register to vote and then vote in an election. Once elected to Congress and sworn in, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, debate the merits of the bill, lobby fellow legislators, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President. All participants will receive Certificate of Completion. Participating Girl Scouts will earn a badge for completion of this session.

The Future of Higher Education

The Future of Higher Education

Higher education is at a crossroads — while crucial to the health of our democracy and society, it faces an uncertain and contested future. At this pivotal moment, distinguished leaders and scholars at public universities and institutions come together in a provocative conversation. Our panel of experts considers important questions, such as: Does the promise of higher education for the public good remain the top priority? How can we balance the commitment to a liberal arts and sciences education while also supporting preparedness for the workplace? How can institutions foster academic freedom, equity, and opportunity for all? Join us for a bold, substantive discussion about public education and its futures.

Featuring Nancy Cantor, president of Hunter College, CUNY; Cathy N. Davidson, distinguished professor at the CUNY Graduate Center, founder of the Futures Initiative, and special advisor to the CUNY chancellor; William P. Kelly, president emeritus of the CUNY Graduate Center and former director of NYPL Research Libraries; Shelly Lowe, chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities; and Maurice Wallace, associate professor of English at Rutgers University. Moderated by Shelly Eversley, professor of English at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center, and faculty co-chair of the Futures Initiative.

Presented with the Futures Initiative and organized in celebration of its 10th anniversary. Co-presented with the Center for the Humanities.

Livestream—The Future of North American Trade and Economic Integration
2025-05-08 09:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Join us for a deep dive into the future of trade and economic integration in North America at our livestream event.

North American relations are currently at a boiling point. The new administration under Donald J. Trump has disrupted trade and economic integration trends by imposing tariffs on its neighbors, Mexico and Canada. This approach will reshape the rules of trade and economic dynamics of the region and those of the region with other parts of the world. However, despite turmoil at the federal level, the U.S.-Mexico border will likely continue to be a shining example of what integrated value chains can do for both countries. Some border economic regions, such as Brownsville-Matamoros, demonstrate that the historic economic integration between the U.S. and Mexico remains robust and largely unaffected by any of Mr. Trump’s executive orders. Even so, the stakes are high for redefining North American cooperation, and the common border should serve as the proverbial canary in the mineshaft for any real disruptions and future trends in the region’s trade and economic relationships.
This half-day conference will feature keynote speakers and panel discussions to forecast the future of North American trade and economic integration. It will also provide insights to help navigate these challenging times. A key highlight of the event will be the presentation of reports from a series of workshops held in Houston and Monterrey, where industry leaders, policymakers, and economic experts examined the challenges of nearshoring—focusing on electricity, human capabilities, and infrastructure.
This event is sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for the U.S. and Mexico, Tecnológico de Monterrey, and The Nearshore Company.

Salinger’s Soul: His Personal and Religious Odyssey

Stephen Shepard in Conversation with David Nasaw

The author of the iconic 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, who famously lived out his life in seclusion in rural New Hampshire, J.D. Salinger is one of America’s best known but least understood writers. But a new biography by Stephen Shepard, founding dean of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, lifts the curtain on Salinger’s life, from his traumatic experience in World War II, to his problematic relationships with young women, to his religious beliefs. A spiritual seeker, Salinger transitioned from the Judaism of his youth to a mystical form of Hinduism known as Vedanta, which influenced his fiction from Nine Stories to Franny and Zooey. Shepard, former editor-in-chief at Business Week and author of books on journalism and literature, speaks about Salinger with David Nasaw, who is the Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the CUNY Graduate Center and an award–winning biographer of William Randolph Hearst, Andrew Carnegie, and Joseph P. Kennedy.
Presented with the Leon Levy Center for Biography.
