The Academic Advising Center (AAC) unequivocally condemns words and acts of racism. They violate our values and harm the ability of all students, staff, and faculty to feel equally included, valued, and safe within our community. The racist verbal assault that occurred in the Engineering Center on October 6th reminds us again that there is continuing work to be done to make our campus explicitly anti-racist. We stand in solidarity with the Black Student Alliance and everyone working to make our campus and the College of Arts and Sciences truly equitable and inclusive.
