Statement from the College

°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û’s Department of Global Languages and Theatre Arts condemns police brutality against black and brown people, all forms of systemic racism and discrimination throughout society. Black lives matter. As an educational institution, we support all opportunities to provide education in all areas of ethnic studies and culture that include Black, African, Latino, Asian and Native American studies. To that end, we reaffirm our commitment to ensure that the works of authors and scholars of color and other historically disenfranchised groups are represented in our curricula, and to empower students to redress racial discrimination through service learning opportunities that promote social inclusion and diversity in our community.
