Join us for a panel discussion with staff, faculty, and alumni who have been on the front lines of change at UC San Diego. The panelists will include: Fnann Keflezighi (UC San DiegoThurgood Marshall College), Angela Kong (UC San Diego OASIS), Jorge Mariscal (UC San Diego Literature), and Agustín Orozco (UC San Diego OASIS). Over the past decade and more recently, there have been a number of incidents on the campus that have targeted specific underrepresented groups. These recurring events affect ALL students, underrepresented or not, and demonstrate the need for a conversation about student experiences related to the campus climate at UC San Diego. This conversation is not top down. UC San Diego has a rich history of student activism. From the university’s beginning, moments of crisis have been met by student-led transformative action. The UC San Diego Library has begun a “living archive,” a collection of materials presented in a way that allows for the expression, exhibition, documentation, and preservation of a sentiment or movement in a particular community. This type of “archiving” is living because it includes content that offers real-time feedback on a particular era. The archive encompasses all manner of material from documents of the past to creative expression through art, film, writing and more. By highlighting the campus’s past of evolving from crisis to accomplishing change, we can bring people together to raise questions, spark conversations, and promote multicultural understanding. The event will include a reception and time to view the exhibit.
