How should universities address their own racist histories in light of the Northam incidents? Prof. Julian Hayter of the Jepson school contributes to the Inside Higher Ed article below.
Thank you Diversity Richmond for sharing this article.
We'll see you for the big conclusion of MLK day, the Commeration in Camp Concert Hall at 3:00 pm.
A lot of things have brought sadness to our campus this week. If you need help or support, please reach out to the Dean's offices, CAPS, or Common Ground. In the meantime, may this inspirational song from the Broadway show Dear Evan Hansen bring you some comfort.
Congratulations, Ayele d'Almeida, and all our Gilman Scholarship winners. Ayele has worked for Common Ground for two years and been a Cultural Advisor. We wish her well in her travels!
What a terrific children's book on being a trans child. A perfect holiday gift!
A lovely article on our annual Thanksgiving dinner.
Wishing you a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!
Another campus Thanksgiving dinner in the books. We had 89 students and many wonderful volunteers. We couldn't be more thankful we could do this for the students who stay on campus over break.
Thinking of those we've lost today because they dared to live their truth. #transdayofremembrance #TDoR #nomore
A fascinating article about how Missou has responded since their student protests in 2015. Good lessons for all universities here.
When you find yourself thinking about the amazing students who used to work for you and graduated in May. You are still with us in spirit.- Remember that you don't have to be perfect to be amazing! :) <3
Thanks to our friends in the Chaplaincy we will have a chance as a campus to mourn the deaths of all we lost to hate last week and to lift each other up in hope. Please join us.
Learn about the services being offered to students, staff, and faculty over Thanksgiving break here: https://commonground.richmond.edu/programs/thanksgiving.html- In the wake of another tragedy it can be hard to find the words to convey the depth of one's sorrow. Common Ground stands in solidarity with our Jewish friends on campus and throughout the world on this tragic day.
Read here about some important work that Common Ground is doing.
We hope to see you at this conference! Register now!
Happy National Coming Out Day! 🌈❤️😃
