Location: Heritage Hall, HUB Robeson Center
The Penn State Affirmative Action Office (AAO), in coordination with several graduate students at the Penn State School of International Affairs (SIA), are hosting, “Belonging Here, There, and Nowhere,” will take place 6:00–7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 27, in Heritage Hall, 122 HUB-Robeson Center, on the University Park campus.
The interactive event is intended for individuals who want to begin or step up the conversation of supporting mixed-race populations on campus and will provide space for racially mixed Penn Staters to discuss their experiences, get to know each other, and strengthen social ties and support.
“Belonging Here, There, and Nowhere” is open to all members of the Penn State community, and individuals from racially mixed backgrounds are especially encouraged to attend.
The SIA graduate students facilitating the event are Schönn Franklin, Gerren Graham, Jalen Jeter, Cierra Marie Luella Powell, Olivia Smith, and Ian Tennison. The facilitators will engage participants through interactive activities to share stories about belonging and not belonging and to engage in identifying resources as a form of organizing to generate ideas for multiracial community building.
