Spent some time today doing curriculum editing and planning for this coming year - major thanks to our past facilitator friends for helping us think things out!

From its opening 10 years ago, the Davis Center's mission has been to be student focused, complement the university's academic mission, to celebrate and support social justice, and to be a community centered college union for campus. Our commitment to that mission has never wavered.

Student Life and the Dudley H. Davis Center are proud to be allies and advocates as we work towards dismantling the racism and white supremacy that exists all around us. As a core tenet of Our Common Ground, we will always tirelessly work for justice, to make not only our campus a better, more inclusive place - but our society as a whole.

We see you, and you matter to us.

Shared by friend of Next Step and UVM faculty member Jackie Weinstock. Thanks Jackie!
