Description
RIU is a discussion-based program that centers the experiences of UMBC community members who identify as first, 1.5, or second-generation immigrants regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, and/or citizenship status. This structured, topic-based program discusses the diverse immigrant experiences with a focus on intersectionality, community building, and social justice, while providing a safe space for UMBC immigrant students, staff, faculty, and alumni to share their feelings and experiences with other community members.
Have you ever taken a moment to pause and think how you've gotten here? Your ancestors, your successes, areas where you need to grow. Are social justice, equity, and identity-centered issues are showing up at home in your personal social circles? Are there ways that you wish you could talk about more with others with similar experiences? Join us to breathe, exhale and take a moment to reflect on how social justice, equity, and our identities impact our daily lives and how to have open, brave, and educative dialogue with those closest to us.
