The SGA will host its annual One UA Week starting Monday. The event’s theme, “Hate Doesn’t Roll Here,” promotes the University’s values of unity and respect while also encouraging students and faculty to engage in community-building experiences.
In addition to advocating for campuswide inclusivity, the week will also provide students with the chance to serve the surrounding Tuscaloosa community and earn points toward their individual DEI Passports.
The SGA will table outside of the Student Center from Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for students to learn more about One UA Week initiatives. Students will have the opportunity to sign a pledge, enter a giveaway and grab a bag of popcorn.
Additionally, there will be opportunities each weekday to take the Hallowed Grounds Tour, which showcases the history of slavery on campus.
