CSUN Act Now (CAN) is a collaboration of students, faculty, staff and community members working to craft interactive activities, performances, lectures, seminars, and exhibits to help Matadors make informed decisions and participate meaningfully in their communities. These events will help Matadors establish and maintain communities of support on issues important to them, provide information and direction on getting involved in contemporary issues, and help create connections between civic engagement, classroom learning, and everyday practice. Learn more about CSUN Act Now at the link below!
