The first month of the semester in the Social Justice LLC
has gotten off to a great start! We started the month with a community meeting,
designed to get everyone familiar with their brand new neighbors, followed
shortly after by the LLC's kick off at the SocioCultural Spectacular. Members
of the LLC were able to listen to live music, define what “We the People” means
to them, make buttons and more! With classes in full swing, members of the LLC
have met with Peer Mentor Melissa on Sunday nights to study for their LLC
history class with some help from their classmates. To close off the month, the
LLC met again to define what social justice means to them as well as make
buttons that represented a multitude of identities, all while getting to know
each other over pizza.
We’re excited for the year ahead, with some exciting
collaborations with LGBT Resource Center and Sociocultural Programming, featuring
some festive activities, speakers from within the Social Justice community,
interesting panels and conferences, and involvement opportunities for residents
of the Social Justice LLC to get involved with social justice and activism on a
grander scale than what we can offer in University Housing. Members of the LLC
have also offered suggestions on what they would like to do within the LLC,
ranging from community decorations to events out in the community. We are so
excited to have such an engaged community this year and look forward to the
opportunities and fun this year will bring!
