What: Inclusive Campus Breakfasts are monthly breakfasts intended to foster discussions about diversity across campus.
Gevin Brown, graduate research assistant at Crossroads, said the breakfast isn’t structured to feel like a lecture or a classroom setting.
“Typically, after we’ve sat down with our breakfast, we’ll all introduce ourselves and then break up into small groups where individual initiatives like campus dialogue and trans-inclusivity are discussed,” Brown said.
Who: The breakfasts are hosted by UA Crossroads, and is open to all members of the University of Alabama community.
When: The first Wednesday of every month, from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m.
Where: The Anderson Room, located on the third floor of the Ferguson Center.
Why: “There is always a running thing about UA being so big that it’s hard to know what’s happening on campus, especially when you look at student organizations dedicated to diversity,” Brown said. “It’s great that we have all this, but there’s not really anything to unite all of those diversity efforts, and the breakfast really does that. It just gives students and staff a place to obtain a general understanding of what’s happening on campus, as it relates to diversity.”
The next breakfast will be held this Wednesday, Oct. 4 and all students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend and share their ideas about how to make the university a more welcoming and inclusive environment.
