Description
RIU is a discussion-based program that centers the experiences of UMBC community members who identify as first, 1.5, or second-generation immigrants regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, and/or citizenship status. This structured, topic-based program discusses the diverse immigrant experiences with a focus on intersectionality, community building, and social justice, while providing a safe space for UMBC immigrant students, staff, faculty, and alumni to share their feelings and experiences with other community members.
Relationships if done well, require a lot of continuous work, communication, and compromise. Globalization has allowed love to transcend borders and for cross-cultural relationships to become more common in our intersectional world. As we develop and foster relationships romantic partners (as well as family members and friends), self-awareness of how our held identities come into play in order to create the healthiest relationship possible. Join us as we discuss best practices on developing stronger relationships with ourselves and loved ones, face our own internalized barriers, as well as communicating our boundaries with others.
