The Soul and Mental

Health of a Nation: A
Discussion on Mass
Shootings, Mental Health,
and White Supremacy

• One of my first events and

arguably one of the most
controversial.
• This gave students an
opportunity to ask
questions of the panelists
which included the
Deputy Chief of NIU PD.
 • Beginning in February 2021, in partnership with the Pick Museum we
sponsored a museum exhibit of racist items
Hateful Things Exhibit • I have had the opportunity to create programming around it, be in he
virtual tour, and help with the unboxing of it.
So-Full Friday and
Graduate Colloquium
February 2021

• Telling stories and honoring these

experiences is one of the tenets of
Critical Race Theory and has been
a key part of my own
development.
• This event went beautifully, and a
great conversation was held on
the importance of storytelling and
how to empower our students
• The So-Full Friday showed the
importance of inclusion and what
that means to students to feel
“seen”.
