Let’s Talk – Centering Race

The Center for Student Diversity (CSD) remains committed to listening, supporting, learning and educating our campus community.
In the upcoming days and weeks, we will be holding spaces for our students to process, heal and seek support. We will continue offering educational spaces and resources focused on anti-racism and decentering whiteness, as an opportunity to engage in informal conversations, participate in structured dialogues, (un)learn and reflect on all of our roles as allies and advocates for a more inclusive community.
Starting next week, as part of the CSD’s ‘Let’s Talk’ series and in partnership with the Counseling Center, we will offer Affinity Group Dialogues for processing, dialogue and community. All students are invited to join the spaces they feel called to participate in and that reflect their identities. Students are welcome and encouraged to join more than one space. We remain open to other affinity group spaces based on interest across campus. All sessions can be accessed online or by phone via bit.ly/LETSTALKTU.
