2nd Annual dCenter Alumni Network Weekend

The 2nd Annual The Diversity Center Alumni Weekend was May15-17. Over 20 dCenter Alumni came from near and far to reconnect with the people, space, and community that at one time or another they all called home.

Xochilt Coca ('13) shares why she, as a dCenter Alumnae, continues to engage with the community.

Xochilt Coca '13

"I stay connected to the PLU Diversity Center because this community has become an extension of my family. As a first generation student of color I was able to find my "home away from home" as well as a community that helped me grow into a leader on campus. As a Rieke scholar I was able to serve as an advocate for issues of social justice such as immigration by facilitating and creating a scene for Tunnel of Oppression along with other students. Without the love and support from the dCenter I do not believe I would have had as rich of an experience at PLU. I am forever grateful to this community for its positive impact on my life and I and look forward to staying connected to my family."

Thank You DJS Leaders

Rosario Jesús Treviño Yoson is a 2nd year majoring in Economics. They identify as a mixed queer transmasculine person using he/they pronouns. He plans to use their degree to address food insecurity. You can find him in the Diversity Center, the library, or the student radio station in the Neeb building. Dear DJS Student Leaders, It has been an honor to organize your stories this year. When I started, I was a little lost. I hadn’t attempted something like this before. What I uncovered became larger than the website. In conversations I had with each of the writers, I sought to go deeper into their motivations, why they are committed to the work they do towards anti-racism; outside of school and sometimes unpaid. It is the right thing to do, but these students stepped farther, they took initiative and leadership in their own communities, rather than waiting for direction. I was encouraged after hearing from a few writers “this conversation help...

Upholding Community Guidelines

Community guidelines, agreements, or tenants are used far and wide in social justice education settings. Creating, stating, and agreeing upon community guidelines is typically at the top of the agendas of workshops, institutes, and new community meetings. Lately I have noticed myself being disingenuous about the idea of establishing community standards over and over again. What’s the point of spending time creating a list of agreements - ways in which we would like to hold each other accountable as a community, ways to create a community of learners and leaders, and ways to create a brave space that acknowledges conflict and difference exists and welcomes diverse perspectives and a range of learners – if too often we do not hold each other accountable for upholding them? What I have notice is when time goes on, and communities have long since upheld and or revisited their commitments and guidelines, people begin side stepping around each other and issues, bl...

Utilization of white privilege

A few days ago I happened to stumble upon this video from Upworthy's Facebook page: Upworthy on utilization of white privilege The reason why I think this video is important is because it highlights ways of using white privilege. There are three main points that I got from this video and I would like to share those with you. The first thing I think is important to keep in mind when discussing the topic of white privilege is that sometimes it seems that the general idea is that one can only be an ally through huge gestures. This video and this women's story shows us that's not the case. What is important to realize, in my opinion, is that in order for one to become an advocate on behalf of someone, the realization of the presence of inequality in society today is crucial. Before I go on to my next point, I would like to give you the text book definition white privilege is; "White privilege is a set of advantages and/or immunities that white people benefit fro...
