Center for Social Change and Belonging to build pathways to success for students

Marcelius Braxton has been named the center's inaugural director


See the link below. From the article:

”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In a continued effort to support Penn State’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives, Student Affairs has reimagined resources to create the Center for Social Change and Belonging to enhance and bridge existing initiatives focused on developing community and fostering actionable change.

“We are excited to better align resources in support of our student communities, particularly related to equity-minded education, alongside resource connection and support,” said Brian Patchcoski, assistant vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion in Student Affairs. “The Center for Social Change and Belonging is positioned to raise up and augment the work our affinity and identity-based centers in Student Affairs, alongside our campus partners, while also filling gaps that students experience as they navigate various resources.”

With a focus on enhancing pathways for student success, the center is charged with working with colleagues within Student Affairs and across the University in bridging curricular and co-curricular opportunities and furthering the capacity of students, staff and faculty to explore diverse perspectives while fostering community action and change.”



I have no idea what any of this means. Anyway, why ”reimagine” resources when you can add new resources on top? Unless they have…

Oh, please tell me they've hired Gehry Partners to design and build the Beenapaldi Center for Social Change and Belonging....

A relevant and interesting read from our new Director.

We may have a new set of "Key Goals"

I seriously doubt this 'author' has any experience outside of his student/classroom career. His Real world 'Performance' is lacking all aspects of critical thinking in favor of - do not hurt the feelings of others. One can only hope this fad will be a short life span - this must be eliminated or the class war of the minority will continue.

Of the United States population -- White 66% .... Hispanic 17% ... Black 13% ... Gay ... 3% .... trans less than 1%.

Don't forget the Asian population.

Interesting that 17% of Californians are Asians. I believe that combined with the large Hispanic population there, the resulting white population is below 50%, although still the largest single group.

edit: According to the 2020 U.S. census, California's population was 34.7% Non-Hispanic White, 5.7% African American, 1.5% Native American, 16.1% Asian, 0.4% Pacific Islander, 13% Two or more races, and 39.4% Hispanic or Latino of any race.[29]Hispanics are the largest racial/ethnic group in California

Bingo!!! Sorry I had my corporate bingo card by my computer and I won! Neeli sends you a free pass to the Bridging Co-Curricular, Equitable, Social Change Tailgate when you win. The tailgate itself is a fun time, but you have to watch your step - no toes stepped on when getting a White Claw.

Could not have put it any better than Bob when he said he had no idea what any of that press release meant. I'll offer my definition of jibberish: words that spew forth when one has no idea of what one has to say, the number of words being inversely proportional to the level of comprehension of the subject by the speaker.
