Greater Together Youth Summit

The University of Florida held an event called the Greater Together Youth Summit on 02/29/2012.
 I decided that the USFSP OFA team should host a viewing event so that we could get an idea of what a Youth Summit should look like at our school.  We got a room reserved in Harbor Hall and a few of my team's Core Team Members (CTM) came to support the president and watch the online streaming of the event at UF. We had some difficulties viewing the summit on the projector, so we just decorated the room, and huddled around the laptop.  Improvise, Adapt, Overcome!

David Axelrod gave a moving speech about his campaign with Obama and the accomplishments he has achieved for young Americans already.  He mentioned his goals to make college more affordable and life after college a little less difficult.  It was good to see how the Youth Summit worked at the University of Florida.  We have already begun planning to do something similar at USF.  We are all very excited!
