Racial Stress Awareness Week

Racial Stress Awareness Week

(January 10 – January 13, 2022)

BIPOC Student and Staff Mix and Mingle (Monday, Jan 10, 12pm-2pm, WSC 3228)

We invite our BIPOC students to register for this mix and mingle with BIPOC faculty and staff at BYU. We hope that this can be an opportunity for students and staff/faculty to meet and connect with one another. We understand the importance of faculty mentoring and hope this can be an opportunity for students to meet our BIPOC faculty and staff at BYU and learn what teaching, services, and research they are involved in. Our faculty and staff have also registered for this event and are excited to get to know you as well. Please register in advance so that we can order lunch for you.

Safe Space/Healing Space (Tuesday, Jan 11, 5-6pm, 3211 WSC and Thursday, Jan 13, 5-6pm, 3223 WSC)

We invite our BIPOC students to join us in a conversation about race-related stress and your experiences at BYU. We hope for this to be a supportive space for BIPOC students to meet, share, connect, grow, and heal.
