RES Symposium 2023, Navigating Southwestern University as a Person of Color
Given the events of last semester, and the importance of connecting our academic and coursework to how we live our everyday lives as members of the Southwestern community, the RES program committee has created this years Symposium to look inward at our community, and to hear from our community about what it is like to navigate Southwestern as a person of color.
