Description
[This event has been cancelled] 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.
Even as members of the same community, our experiences are unique. If we are all different from one another, how can we be sure that we are uplifting those who are most vulnerable in immigrant communities? Join us as we discuss some of the prominent issues affecting the immigrant community, reflect on our own privileges, and learn how to advocate for ourselves and others.
