About this event

In this session, we'll breakdown the elements of powerful argument and how to use those elements to construct effective op-eds. We'll also learn pitching techniques that will increase the likelihood of publication and go over ways to strategize public advocacy for the issues you care about through op-eds.

Led by writer and commentator Zeba Khan.

The world is full of vexing challenges.

A warming planet, hunger, mis- and disinformation, all of the -isms that keep people from reaching their full potential, just to name a few.

These challenges require creative solutions, but it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. What can we do? Where do we even start?

At the Athena Center for Leadership, we see leaders as, at their core, problem-solvers — and our role as providing Barnard students a wide range of ways to practice solving problems at all scales, all experience-based and available to students from the day they set foot on our campus.

Athena is home to Barnard students who see opportunities in challenges and seize them to build a better world, together — because these are the leaders we need now.
