GSEE Staying Connected - February

GSEE's Staying Connected events build on the momentum from our annual Autumn welcome, Getting Connected.

Staying Connected events are hosted by our Graduate Student  Advisory Board (GSAB) and center community building through exploration and togetherness.

Join GSEE and GSAB for our February Staying Connected at the North African American Museum (NAAM). A little about NAAM from their website:
 

The Northwest African American Museum is an anti-racist, pro-equity, affirming gathering place of hope, help, and healing for the entire Northwest region that is building intergenerational cultural wealth.

At the heart of the African American experience in the Northwest is the story of our journey to this region, the establishment of our vibrant community, and the ways in which we have survived. To tell this ever-unfolding story, the Museum’s exhibitions and programs feature the visual arts, music, crafts, literature, and history of African Americans in the Northwest. Cognizant of the black community’s continuous evolution, NAAM focuses on African Americans whose route to the new world was through slavery as well as recent immigrants arriving from places such as Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia.

*GSEE will cover admission for up to (15) students on a first-come, first-served basis. A waitlist will be available once these spaces fill. Students on the waitlist are still welcome to attend this event, but will need to fund their own admission costs. Please contact us with any questions.
