Jan Marx, Saturday February 24th, 6PM

Jan Marx has had an extraordinary life:  a student activist at Stanford and then Columbia University, Jan and her husband Steve became pioneers in the back-to-the-land movement in her community in Lund, British Columbia.  Eventually, Jan found a place in academic administration at Stanford, Scripps, and San Luis Obispo College of Law,  before finding herself in public office both in the city council and mayor of San Luis Obispo.  Jan will share what more than 50 years of being active and public service has taught her.
