THIS FRIDAY!!!

Y'all know how we pulled off the Black Arts Festival and it was amazing??!! Well other powerful black events are happening in the city and we should support. The Electric Lady Series is coming up next week and I highly! recommend you go to something! There are panels, feminine-only spaces, art showcases, and more! Expand yourself into our community. The black artist community is very tight-knit so this is a GREAT opportunity to network.

Here is the eventbrite and the instagram! The best place to put your money is within our black community!!!

Hey everyone! The next ADC Chill and Chat is going to be Monday, March 20th in Terra 716 @ 7:30 pm! We're gonna pick up where we left off last month with a discussion about cultural education. These are the discussion questions:

What is your personal philosophy on educating others? Do you think everyone has the capacity to understand, or do you think some people are a lost cause? Or maybe somewhere in between?

Think of an instance where you were educated about something. What was it about the way you were taught that made the lesson stick with you? Why had you not known that thing before?

Don't forget that Chill and Chat is now open to all students of color, so bring some friends, and some networking skills!
