Abstract
This workshop will focus on multi-cultural competence through intersectional and purposeful programming. The College at Brockport is extremely lucky to have many campus wide partners such as Brockport Student Government, Residential Life/Learning Communications, clubs, organizations, etc. who deliver incredible programs for students on campus throughout the year. Through this workshop, we will examine how on campus programming can be more meaningful and inclusive to the entire student body. Grace Kelly, resident assistant, will share her weeklong program titled “Intersectionality Week” along with Katiuzca Loaiza, resident director. The workshop will open with a small coloring activity that focuses on the importance of recognizing and accepting different identities while simultaneously understanding the negative impacts of being “color-blind”. There will be a summary of the remaining programs paired with discussion on how these programs were created, resources used etc. The workshop will close with a discussion of the importance of intersectionality and including it in on campus programming. Participants will hopefully understand how to implement purposeful programming in their own capacities while understanding the importance of intersectionality. GOAL/OUTCOME #1 Participants will be able to understand how to create purposeful programs on campus. GOAL/OUTCOME #2 Participants will understand the importance of recognizing and accepting different identities. GOAL/OUTCOME #3 Participants will learn about resources in the Rochester area and on campus to help fulfill their commitments to intersectional and inclusive programming.
