UNIV 1820.005 Umoja: A Community for Racial Healing
Thursdays 2pm-2:50pm
with Melanie Penalosa

Begin your journey of racial healing by reflecting
on the effects of racism and internalized biases
on well-being. Discover ways to feel more
empowered in your own racial identity, while
uplifting others along the way.
Inspired by the Swahili term “Umoja” which
means “unity,” this course will use a social justice
lens and psychoeducational approach to
support student health by building a sense of
community that is guided by the values of
inclusion,
respect, and equity.
