GREENERS AT THE LEGISLATURE

Winter Season. Shared Purpose. Collective Action.

As we move into the winter season, we’re also preparing for a critical moment: advocacy for Evergreen during the 2026 Legislative Session. Earlier this month, we kicked off our first training for new Evergreen Advocates—and we’re energized by the growing community ready to stand up for our college.

How You Can Get Involved

Session Kickoff – January 8 | 5:00 PM (Zoom)
Join Evergreen leaders—President John Carmichael, Vice President Dexter Gordon, and Government Relations Director Sandy Kaiser—for an overview of the legislative challenges ahead and how advocates can help protect Evergreen.
