Two College students, Rosa Rodriguez '06 and Genesis Robinson '07, are spearheading an effort against discrimination and intolerance on campus by co-founding a new organization, Union Students for Change. The group will look at everything from organizing sensitivity workshops to increasing mentorship by faculty and residential advisors.
“Our mission is to integrate and unite the College community into one large group that can produce results,” says Rodriguez.
The group, which held its first meeting in late February, already has made a visible impact at the College by hanging signs that read, “Stop Hate Crimes at Union” on numerous buildings.
“We want to open communication,” says Rodriguez. “We want change.”
