Her/story. His/story. Their/story.
History is all about storytelling. This event acknowledges that history favors those who are given the power to recount events and tell the narrative from their perspective. With that in mind, The Center for Student Diversity & Inclusion and SLICE are hosting a student-alumni-staff-faculty mixer that centers the narratives of those with diverse backgrounds. Lunch will be provided.
