Student of Color Support and Empowerment Group
This is a support group for students of color who are often navigating a complex and difficult
college environment. The focus of this group is on creating a space for students of color to
connect over experiences of discrimination/oppression/
wisdom and energy from each other. Topics covered in the group will vary based on the
members’ preferences, but some examples include but are not limited to: microaggressions,
pressure to prove yourself, feeling like you don’t fit in, discrimination, first-generation college
student, family issues, and academic issues/concerns, romantic relationships, sexism, racism,
imposter syndrome, stereotype threat, self-awareness, self-esteem, emotional health issues
and other stressors related to being a person of color in this university environment.
