Cardano in South L.A.

Host information events aimed at students and faculty at CSUDH, a traditionally latinx and black University in Carson, California.

Both proposers are graduates of CSUDH. Azbai advocates for equity to resources, Matthias is a dedicated Catalyst community member.

To make the world a better place for everyone, we need to provide education and amplify the voices of underrepresented groups.

The program on Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, and Peacebuilding at California State University, Dominguez-Hills, has agreed to pilot another proposal (Win-Win, a marketplace for mediation) where alumni and graduates of their program will be certified as qualified mediators on the Cardano Blockchain through Atala PRISM.

The plan is to host two virtual events during the Fall 2021 semester for CSUDH.

Faculty and students of all CSUDH colleges are invited including:

- Arts & Humanities

- Business Administration & Public Policy

- Natural & Behavioral Sciences

- Education

- Extended & International Education

Potential attendees are asked to RSVP to the event through email communication through their department. Grubhub gift cards are provided to the first 20 people that RSVP and attend the entire event.
