As you know, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, colleges and universities are moving from in-person classes to online education. Following their lead, NYPIRG will continue to offer a full array of educational, service and civic projects for college students through online activities. We are creating an interactive, internet-based program to continue to engage students in civic life, offer educational experiences, and contribute to public policy discourse -- as we have for the last 46 years.
