Office for RACE Newsletter
August 2017
Welcome!
The Office for Racial and Cultural Engagement (RACE) is newly established and we have been working hard all summer to develop initiatives and programs that educate, engage, and support our students in exploring how race as a construct informs our experiences, communities, and everyday interactions with each other as we move through life. Our programs also seek to provide forums for students to dialogue and engage within and across racial and cultural communities.
As educators, we strive to directly confront and counter racism and discrimination and condemn all acts of injustice. Recent events in Charlottesville have shown us that we must continue to seek ways to dismantle systems of oppression and provide healthy and productive opportunities for students to dialogue, coalition build, and create active learning environments. To that end, I hope that you all continue to remain engaged with our office throughout the year and that you use free expression and intellectual curiosity as driving forces toward a journey to racial justice.
