Racial Justice Series Postponed until fall

The NIU racial justice series will be held in the fall. Please continue to check the website for updates.

This is an opportunity to engage in small and large group discussions in a safe space. Each session will build on the last, as we work together to create shared language, and forge deeper connections by telling our stories and listening to the experiences of others. By the end of the third evening we will have a better understanding of each other, and be able to utilize what we have learned to move awareness into action in our own lives.
