Join the Men of Color Initiative for a meaningful and uplifting time of remembrance, reflection, and connection. Students and staff are warmly invited to honor loved ones we’ve lost through moments of silence, lighting tea light candles, sharing cherished memories and stories during an open mic, and blowing bubbles as a lighthearted way to release a thought, memory, or wish. Whether you come to share, listen, reflect, or simply enjoy the company of others, everyone is welcome to participate in whatever way feels comfortable. Come as you are, bring a friend, and join us in creating a welcoming space filled with love, memories, connection, and a little bit of joy.

This event is open to ALL UIS students and staff. For questions or accommodations, please feel free to email diversity@uis.edu or call (217) 206-6333.
