Leadership and Community Development Workshop Series
Mondays from 11:20 am-12:20 pm. As part of the "Movement-Maker Monday Initiative", these monthly workshops will focus on how student groups can deepen belonging and participation in their organizations by cultivating solidarity and agency among their members and connecting with like-minded others to create collective impact. Practical skills offered will emphasize peer empowerment, stakeholder engagement, and identifying concrete, tangible strategies to enact an organization’s mission. Workshops will be hosted in the Executive Meeting Room (unless otherwise noted). Registrations for individual workshops are available on RCommunity. All inquiries can be directed to Michael D'Italia.

Workshops will be hosted in the Executive Meeting Room (unless otherwise noted). Registrations for individual workshops are available on RCommunity. All inquiries can be directed to Michael D'Italia.
Past Event Recordings
Master Class
April 29, 2025. A Masterclass on Environmental Justice & Queer Liberation-Featuring Chris Tandazo: We can’t have Environmental Justice (EJ) without Queer Liberation. These movements are deeply interconnected, as both represent resistance against systems of oppression that discriminate and marginalize people and communities based on race, class, gender, and disability. In this masterclass, we highlight the importance of the intersections between EJ and Queerness, the challenges in building bridges across movements, and the possibilities for pathways of solidarity to create a healthier, safer, and just future.

Fourth Annual Chancellor’s Lecture
March 11, 2025. In a talk on her award-winning book The Sum of Us, McGhee will take us on a journey across the country, exploring with compassion, intelligence, and care what we lose as a result of the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some must come at the expense of others. McGhee argues that what would actually improve our lives—from our infrastructure to our education system and democracy itself—would be to come together across divides.
