Black, Indigenous and Racialized Students' Writing Café
The Black, Indigenous and Racialized Students' Writing Café is a social writing group. Unlike traditional peer feedback-based writing groups, we don’t read each other’s finished writing: instead, we write together to create a community of writers who can cheer each other on during what is often an isolating, difficult journey!
Community Well-being Fruits and Veg Market
Fresh produce, right on campus. No grocery run. No hassle. Just bags of seasonal fruit and veggies at prices well below what you’d pay at a store. Grab one between classes and you’re set for the week! Open to all students and employees.

Abraham Oghobase: Notes to Self
Abraham Oghobase investigates the ways that photographic images shape memory and history. The artist’s mixed-media installation Onoriode (Who Knows Tomorrow?) references both his middle name and its translation from the Urhobo language. Exhibited in context with the large-scale print installation Notes to Self, these recent bodies of work are made in response to the tensions inherent to both the personal and historical archive.
Laura Moore: Handheld
The multidisciplinary artworks in Handheld are rooted in Laura Moore’s fascination with obsolete technology and her commitment to repurposing materials. Having established a reputation for carving 1:1 scale vintage computer monitors and boom boxes out of stone, over the last few years her practice has expanded to include the making of quilts and mosaics.
