Rooted Together: Holding Space, Building Community
The Augustana College Diversity Council invites students, faculty and staff to join us 1-3 p.m. for Rooted Together, an informal gathering designed to hold space for reflection, connection, and care.
In a time marked by uncertainty and rapid change in our broader political and social landscape, we recognize the emotional impact this can have on our campus community. This event is an opportunity to pause, listen, and be heard, to acknowledge the range of feelings people may be carrying, and to reaffirm our shared values of inclusion and belonging.
We will share campus and community-based resources, encourage continued dialogue through monthly conversation circles, and offer a quiet space to build community with compassion and intention.
All are welcome. Come as you are. Stay as long or as briefly as you need.
