Live From New York!

Tonight, I have the pleasure of live blogging live from the Apollo theater where the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), MTV and ONE are hosting “Giving” - a roundtable discussion on youth activism.

At the event - we’ll officially launch the ONE Campus Challenge - although we did go out of our way to leak it to our members and blog readers beforehand:)

The event’s set to start at 9 but a bunch of us ONE loyalist have been here for hours making sure to get the word about ONE out to the more than 1,000 young people attending.

In a moment I’ll post a few great shots of the crew and crowd. Even as I sit here, I see more and more people in ONE shirts walking by.

Cougars Campaign Count Up by 200

Last Friday College of Charleston held its first event as an official ONE Campus. Despite less than perfect weather and a bomb threat that essentially closed down half the campus, we talked to and signed up more than 200 students who expressed serious interest in our campaign to end poverty and AIDS.

From the very first mention of bringing the ONE Campaign to the campus, I, a student ONE Vote ‘08 staff member, have been constantly surprised by the interest fellow students have shown. Hopefully, we as Cougars can set an example for other colleges around the state and continue to make good things happen!

College of Charleston Off and Running

On September 21st, the College of Charleston will hold its first event as a ‘ONE Campus’. Three days prior, the college’s Senate will vote on a resolution to make the college’s status official.

Working hand-and-hand with the student government, the rising level of student excitement is apparent. More than half of the total student groups on campus have already expressed interest in participating in ONE events!

I can’t wait to see what happens when the school officially adopts the title of a “ONE Campus!” Knowing the attitude students already have here about this campaign, optimistic is an understatement.

New ONE Campus in the Works!

After many College of Charleston students attended the Democratic debates and volunteered for the ONE Campaign, we decided we’d like to help the whole College of Charleston’s student body show their support for this historical initiative by making our campus a ‘Campus of ONE.’

I worked with fellow student Russ Richardson (student senator of our school’s Student Government Association) and Jesse Pruitt (ONE volunteer coordinator) to help make it happen. We ended up drafting a resolution, SR-F2007-001, which now stands as the first resolution to be debated of the 2007-2008 academic year. Our Student Government Association was founded in 1922 and will be celebrating its 85th Senate Session this fall. In making history with one of the oldest organizations at our college, we’re continuing to help make history by fighting the AIDS pandemic and extreme poverty around the world.
