Open house

What do I do if I experience, or witness, identity-based harm, like racism, on campus? What happens if I tell someone? Where can I find resources?

Join us for a drop-in session, where you can ask questions, receive guidance, and learn about the disclosure process, reporting options, and the supports available on campus. This is a supportive space to discuss any concerns or uncertainties you may have and to better understand how our Office can support you.

The Free Store is a Sustainability Office initiative to divert waste from the landfill. This program helps to rehome items that are still in usable condition to those that want and need them, such as home goods, kitchenware, school supplies and more. Learn more about what items we'll be collecting, where you can drop off donations, and when and where to find pop-ups across campus.

Join us for Together in Community: Mural Painting, a collaborative art initiative that invites all students, staff, and faculty to transform the DC Fishbowl into a canvas of creativity and connection! Guided by the theme of community, participants will each paint a hexagon tile that, when combined, forms a vibrant mural showcasing the diverse perspectives and voices that uplift our campus.

This project begins with a dedicated painting session open to all campus groups on Monday, October 20, 2025, with walk-ins welcome. Additionally, the event will also culminate into a Campus Painting Day on Thursday, November 20th, 2025, where the entire community (students, staff, faculty and beyond) is invited to contribute. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Together, we'll celebrate the strength of our campus community by creating something lasting, meaningful, and uniquely ours.

Meet WICI Members and discuss how you can be involved.
