Recently, I joined Rich Gordon, host of WVUD’s Campus Voices, and others for a deeply important and insightful examination of recent events on campus that illuminate the racial issues we still struggle with.  I was honored to listen to and learn from Abby and Guillermina, and am proud of the students on campus working towards a more inclusive, and less hostile, campus environment for everyone.  Please take a moment to listen, and also check out other editions of Campus Voices.
