The Power of Symbols: When Hate Visits Our Community

Monday, April 18, 2016 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Symbols are powerful communication tools. They convey considerable meaning in an immediately recognizable form, and the power they can have is tremendous. Some symbols are meant to evoke feelings of hate or anger, or to spark fear and insecurity. The impact on the victim goes beyond an individual or even the targeted community, but affects everyone around. Join us to discuss how symbols affect our campus and ways in which we respond.
