  Are you ready to be a census influencer? Maybe you weren't paying attention in high school social studies class and missed the explanation about the role of the census survey. Don't panic—this won't be a boring lesson you'll soon forget! You'll learn how being counted in the 2020 census will affect you, your family, and the community for the next 10 years. We'll review how the census affects your everyday life as a college student, from financial aid to the street you took to class today. Then use your voice to create a message about the census that will be shared across campus and the Buffalo community to encourage others to be counted in 2020.
