IME office: Honor Black History Month - Educate Yourself! |
While February is Black History Month, we encourage learning and celebrations of Black culture to go beyond this month. If you haven't already, IME challenges you take some action in learning more about Black history and then sharing what you learn with others.
Come learn about the experiences of Black youth in Portland, through the In My Shoes project. Each weekend, in February, young Black men are leading tours across Portland and Vancouver and inviting others to join and learn about the neighborhoods in which they live. For more information, visit the link.

Volunteer with Greater Than |
Greater Than, a local non-profit focused on racial equity in K-12 education, is seeking volunteers from L&C. Greater Than has a location within Alder Elementary School and they are hoping to host 3-4 L&C students on Monday, March 7th 10:00am-12:00pm.
What would you be doing? L&C Volunteers would be talking to the 3rd graders at Alder. You would generally talk about College, what you study here, and your path to college. It would be interactive and engaging, with the hope of inspiring the kids to think about going to college someday.
Greater Than would prefer L&C Volunteers who identify as BIPoC, or are Spanish or Russian speaking. Those who are interested in volunteering for this event please email me at kmccauley@lclark.edu no later than Friday, February 25th.
Thanks for considering the opportunity!

Apply to be a Ray Warren Symposium Co-chair! |
Applications are still being accepted for co-chair positions for the 19th Annual Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies, to be held in November 2022. All interested students should contact Kim Brodkin, symposium faculty director, at kbrodkin@lclark.edu by March 1.
There is a short application, and then you will meet with Kim for a one-on-one appointment.
* Co-chairs have a lot of creative authority in shaping the theme and content of the symposium, and it is a wonderful leadership opportunity. Co-chairs gain experience in researching speakers and topics, coordinating event logistics, facilitating meetings, and managing a budget, in addition to deepening their communication and outreach skills (emails, public speaking, social media, and more).
* Students must have junior or senior standing in fall 2022.
* Prior experience on the symposium planning committee is not required, nor is a minor in Ethnic Studies, but preference is given to students with relevant academic background and/or organizational experience.
* Co-chairs earn 4 credits for their work. Co-chairs register for ETHS 345 in the fall, which is taken for CR/NC and counts toward the Ethnic Studies minor or as an elective.
* Being on campus this semester is not required, but the co-chairs and faculty director usually meet a few times in the spring, either on Zoom or in person. Work continues during the summer--via email, Moodle/Google Drive, and meetings every few weeks, which are scheduled around everyone's availability.
Please spread the word to anyone who may be interested, and get in touch with Kim with questions!
