Camp Congress for Girls Seattle 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.

Event description:
The United Nation’s annual youth commemoration of the International Day of Peace will be held at United Nations Headquarters on Friday, 12 September 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The theme for the 2025 International Day of Peace is: “Act Now for a More Peaceful World.” This theme is a call to action that recognizes young people as agents of change who play a vital role in fostering a culture of peace for all.
The United Nations traditionally commemorates this day with the Peace Bell Ceremony, followed by a youth event. This year, in lieu of a formal, large youth event, students will have the opportunity to engage in intimate roundtable discussions on themes related to Peace and Security, moderated by influential leaders. Students will also be included in the Peace Bell Ceremony.
Each student will be asked to propose concrete, practicable ideas about how they can build and support peace initiatives in their own lives – and be ready to share them at the roundtables. Prompts and general guidance for the presentations will be shared in the coming weeks. We recommend that students begin working on their presentations over the summer, as the International Day of Peace falls at the very beginning of the 2025–2026 school year. Students’ written proposals, anonymously or credited, which may serve as youth inputs for the Secretary-General’s Youth, Peace, and Security report in the coming year.
Students will all participate in a United Nations tour, a United Nations briefing and Peacekeeping virtual reality experience.

Grad Workshop: Institutional Choices & Societal Consequences

From greenwashing to referendums, this workshop explores how institutions shape societal change and minority rights.

Institutional Choices & Societal Consequences
This workshop brings together two emerging scholars whose work critically examines how institutions shape — and often constrain — social and political life.This will be a hybrid event. Register to receive Zoom link, or attend in-person.

Julia Cope (Annenberg School of Communications, University of Pennsylvania) explores how the American advertising industry confronts climate change. Her study of AdAge and Adweek reveals the fragile compromises advertising professionals craft between profit-driven market logics and civic or environmental responsibility. By unpacking these discourses, Cope shows how concerns for sustainability are reframed through brand authenticity and reputation, exposing deeper tensions in neoliberal democratic life.Presenting: Grappling with Green: How the trade press justifies and critiques climate concern in advertising
Kevin Yüh (Rice University / Zhejiang University) analyzes the use of referendums in advancing LGBTQ+ rights, with a focus on Taiwan’s same-sex marriage referendum. Drawing on comparative perspectives across Asia, Yu argues that while direct democracy may appear to empower minority rights, in practice it often undermines them, revealing the complex and sometimes contradictory role of referendums in shaping institutional legitimacy and social change.Presenting: Are Referendums a Bad Idea for the LGBTQ+ Community: Comparative Perspectives From Taiwan to Asia

Together, these presentations highlight how institutional choices — from corporate self-regulation to democratic mechanisms — carry profound societal consequences, shaping the possibilities and limitations of accountability, equity, and justice in the contemporary world.
