Please join YEA (Youth & Education Advocates) this Tuesday in Room 185 for an engaging lunchtime discussion with Rigel Massaro, staff attorney at Public Advocates in San Francisco.* Rigel will discuss her work, which is uniquely centered around the intersection of law and education, and explain the “near-landmark” case CQE v. California, which almost revolutionized our state’s public education funding system.

After a brief lecture, there will be plenty of time for questions, as well as a discussion of legal careers that focus on education policy and/or reform. Free Asian Box will be provided!
