Consent Workshop
Come visit us in the Mather Center for an engaging and informative workshop on how to create a culture of consent in our daily lives, our school environment, and the world around us. Normalize giving and receiving consent in not just sexual situations but friendships, romantic relationships, and everyday interactions.
This workshop is part of the university's It's On CWRU initiative to disrupt the culture of violence, aimed at helping everyone in our campus community recognize the role they can play in reducing and preventing violence. This workshop is open to all students, faculty, and staff.
The workshop will be held Thursday, April 11, from 12:00-1:30 pm in the Mather Center (TVUC 248).
Celebrate Arab American/MENA/SWANA Heritage Month!
We recognize the 3.5 million Arab Americans that exemplify “so much of what our country stands for: hard work, resilience, compassion, and generosity.”
The official name of the month is Arab American Heritage month. But while Arab denotes connection to the Arabic language, Middle Eastern, or MENA are geographical terms describing the region of Middle East & Northern Africa.
But since the “Middle East” is actually Western Asia, rather than a political term, SWANA is a decolonial and geographical term that represents the various communities located in Southwest Asia and North Africa, from Morocco to Afghanistan. It includes such people groups as Assyrians, Circassians, Israelis, Kurdish, Palestinians, and Berbers.
In addition, a new category is being introduced in the next national census (2030). Middle Eastern or North African, separate and distinct from the white category. This is the first time in nearly three decades that the government has changed how it asks these question
