organizations - to accurately represent the LGBTQ population on campus and the width of
experiences students faced. The theme this year is "More Pride. More Color.

SALUTE TO LATINAS: RADIANCE IN COLOR
Rackham; Thursday, October 11, 6:30-9pm

"Radiance in Color" will educate the campus community about this misrepresentation and the significance of bringing awareness to the issue through poetry, amazing guest speakers, and a diverse array of cultural foods, awards. At the end of the night, the event will host a gallery portraying women of color dismantling idealized white standards that govern women in different aspects of life. |
