鈥淭he main purpose I see in this is to raise awareness, educate the public and provide feedback to an elected representative,鈥� said Union political science professor Sean Evans. 鈥淪ocial Security is a very important issue for many people, both and young and old, especially young. So I鈥檇 like to raise awareness of students on campus of an issue which directly affects them.鈥�
