AICUP Day on the Hill is a one-day event that brings students from AICUP schools across the Commonwealth together at the Harrisburg Capitol to advocate on behalf of their institutions and the PA State Grant Programs. It is a unique opportunity for participants to meet with legislators and see how the advocacy process works in Harrisburg.
The 2024 AICUP Day on the Hill had approximately 170 attendees from 23 different schools. The students were able to experience the Capitol and learn a lot about the advocacy process while also making an impact with our state legislators. It will be in a new legislative session starting January 2025 which means many new legislators and a little uncertainty about dates. As of today, we are holding April 2nd and April 9th pending session schedule. |
