Dear First_Name,

Join Us for our First Interfaith Dialogue!
Do you take your faith seriously? Come join others and learn about the richness faith brings to other CWRU campus community members.
We want to 1) improve mutual understanding and learning from differences, while also 2) decreasing prejudice, 3) promoting social cohesion, and 4) developing a common sense of belonging between all those involved.
Finally!
COVID really changed campus engagement, and pictures of everyone wearing masks weren't our favorite. But we've finally got a new batch of photos up in OMA celebrating student life. Pictures include: 1) BSU's Black to School BBQ, 2) Graduate Brazilian group welcoming undergraduate Brazilian students, 3) Students protesting for Iran, 4) MSA/La Alianza Basketball Tourney, 5) VSA/KASA BBQ mixer, 6) Latine Graduation, 7) MECA Fall Hafleh, 8) ASA's Cuisine Expo, and 9) Unity Banquet Scholarship Recipients.
To help us make Eldred Hall into a cultural space for all students, we’re asking students to find artwork/decor online that will represent their cultures. Please send us a link with the item(s) by 5pm Monday, March 6. The committee will consider all pieces before selecting and purchasing the final pieces.
In addition to the areas of the building reflecting the diversity of our campus community, we also have specific rooms that will reflect African American, Latine, Pacific Islander, & Native American/Indigenous communities.
Check out the Google slides of the spaces & decor ideas with the wall colors. Or come visit yourself as Eldred is currently open (8am-10pm). Take some time to walk through the spaces and think about what kind of wall decor pieces could be representative of your community.
