The Men of Color Initiative is pleased to present you What The Greek?! What The Greek (WTG) is a discussion-based event exploring Greek life, the stigmas surrounding fraternities and sororities, and the realities behind those perceptions. The event will create space for honest conversation about topics such as hazing, safety, accountability, belonging, and the impact of high-profile situations like Cornell, while allowing both Greek and non-Greek students to share perspectives and experiences.

The Men of Color Initiative presents Be a Man!; a conversation about male friendship, community, and companionship. The event will explore why building meaningful connections can be difficult for men, including how societal expectations around masculinity can shape the way men communicate, express vulnerability, and support one another.

Join the Men of Color Initiative as we hang out, meet new people, and join in on an engaging discussion about a topic that matters to students, all while playing your favorite card games. Whether you come with friends or by yourself, everyone is welcome, and no experience with card games or the conversation topic is required. Just bring yourself, an open mind, and a willingness to connect! Open to all UIS students, faculty, and staff. For questions or accommodations, contact us at diversity@uis.edu.

The Diversity Center, in collaboration with The Immigration Project, is organizing the "I stand with immigrants" event. The session will offer the UIS community access to factual information about immigration status, recent policy changes, legal developments, the rights of immigrants, and currently available resources. The presentation will address current issues, such as enforcement, and will provide students with resources that are easily accessible to assist relatives and communities.
