https://www.ted.com/talks/geoffrey_canada_our_failing_schools_enough_is_enough- Hello All. Last night was a tough blow for many in our community who feel targeted by the rhetoric of the Trump campaign and fearful of what lies ahead. We do too. The Offices of Common Ground and Multicultural Affairs hope to provide you with a space to be among people who share your concerns. The Common Ground LGBTQ lounge and our shared conference room (THC 329) will be open today for anyone seeking a safe space, Kleenex, a hug, or strong coffee. If there are others that you believe would like to join us, please feel free to pass this message along. The Deans of Westhampton College and Richmond College, as well as the staff in CAPS and Campus Ministry welcome you and all students with open arms and open hearts. The conference room will be available to you from 1:00 pm – 6:30 pm. Should you want to talk privately, please call the office to set up an appointment. In solidarity and hope, Tinina Cade, Ph.D Associate Vice President for Student Development (804)289-8032
