Welcome to FIRE’s Student Spotlight! Student Spotlight highlights some of the amazing work being done by CFN members to secure free speech rights for themselves and their peers on campus. There is no “right” way to go about reforming your campus, but one of the best ways to start is to look at what worked for students at other schools. Check back each month for new ideas and strategies! To nominate someone you know for Student Spotlight, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
