The CommUNITY Education team is a Student Affairs committee formed to provide support and learning opportunities for the campus. We foster understanding, empathy, and awareness by creating spaces for open dialogue, amplifying voices, and promoting meaningful connections through storytelling, education, and cultural events.
We work to ensure that personal narratives and real-world experiences shape policies, programs, and community initiatives. By organizing events, discussions, and resource-sharing opportunities, we strive to bridge gaps in understanding and inspire action that leads to a more educated society. Whether through panel discussions, community forums, or creative storytelling projects, our committee is committed to uplifting voices that need to be heard. Join us in building a stronger, more compassionate community—one story at a time.
