A memorial vigil will be held on Sproul Plaza on Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. to honor UC Berkeley student Tarishi Jain and the others who lost their lives alongside her in the attacks in Bangladesh. All members of the community, both on campus and off, are invited to this vigil, which will be a safe space for reflection and mourning. For those who had a personal relationship with Tarishi that are interested in speaking at the vigil, please email [email protected] for more information.

My personal philosophy revolves around the idea that everyone has something to offer and you can learn from everyone you meet. Being a part of SSWANA has allowed me to expand my network and get to know individuals who share different philosophies, life experiences and varied views. Despite the differences, I was able to learn from those interactions and see the similarities--similar cultures, values, and societal pressures just to name a few. These shared struggles are what ...makes SSWANA so important. Our goal is establish resources that directly address these struggles. That being said, I would highly encourage everyone who is interested in SSWANA to learn more and apply if it is something that resonates with you. Also, if you have any questions, comments and or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Or if you have general feedback that is always appreciated as well. Looking forward to hearing from you, best of luck with midterm seasons. In Solidarity, Iqra Shaikh www.tinyurl.com/SSWANAboard
