Meet today’s spotlight!! The Students of Color Environmental Collective centers marginalized voices in environmental and social justice movements to dismantle systems of oppression and environmental racism. This group is intended to be a healing space for students of color to seek refuge from white-dominated environmental and social justice spaces, to learn more about the intersections between environmental and social justice, and to raise conversation about environmental rac...ism and justice on and off-campus. If you self-identify as a person of color, this is a space for you to share thoughts, experiences, ideas, and educational resources. It is also a space for venting, dialogue, and healing, as well as planning future events and outreach. Please be respectful of this space as existing for students of color. Their main projects include hosting SCECon, the first environmental justice conference hosted by students of color for students of color, their SCEC Mentorship Decal to connect students with POC professionals to improve professional development, among many others! SCEC is first and foremost intended to be a healing and decompression space for our students and they emphasize the importance of fostering a strong and supportive community.
