At VU, we value inclusivity and diversity! However, conversations with our racial minority students have revealed that many still feel excluded or “different” before others even get to know them. Some have shared experiences of being subtly—or even directly—told where they do or don’t belong. These moments can affect their confidence, well-being, and access to opportunities. While these experiences may not always be visible to those who don’t face them, they are a daily reality for many, influenced by broader social and systemic factors.
This interactive workshop is a supportive space for VU students to reflect, learn, and grow together—because creating a more inclusive and safe campus is our shared responsibility! Through guided discussions and practical exercises, we’ll work together to build awareness, develop skills to address racism, and foster a stronger, more inclusive community at VU.
What you’ll gain:
✅ Personal growth through self-reflection and deeper awareness of privilege
✅ Practical skills to engage in difficult conversations and challenge racism
✅ A sense of solidarity by learning and reflecting as a group
✅ A stronger ability to contribute to a safer, more inclusive VU community
Many of your peers are already engaging in these conversations—join them and explore what allyship means to you and how you can make a positive difference within your university community!
