Joshua and Maryam presented their first BEEN HERE | STILL HERE: MUSLIMS AND ISLAMOPHOBIA 101 training to eager Resident Advisors at their Social Justice Mini-Conference earlier this week!

We had over 50 RAs join our training, asking us some crucial questions about Islam, Muslims, and Islamophobia. Thanks to Housing and Residential Life for inviting us to present.
