Alumni-Student Lunch Session with Jessica Ayoub, ACLU of Michigan’s Public Engagement Strategist
March 23, 2020 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
CancelledCome grab lunch and have a conversation with alum Jessica Ayoub. Jessica earned her MSW from the University of Michigan in December 2015. Her ability to marshal volunteer forces played a crucial role in the passage of Proposal 3, an ACLU-backed ballot measure that makes it significantly easier for Michiganders to vote. Prior to joining the ACLU-MI, she did a stint in AmeriCorps, working with Detroit school students. After that, she worked with Forgotten Harvest, helping provide quality food to low-income residents throughout metro Detroit. Through it all, one consistent thread has been a bedrock belief in helping community members develop the ability to take the lead on issues facing them. In her current role, Jessica serves as the ACLU of Michigan’s Public Engagement Strategist.
