We have a problem with identity politics on campus

Campus Life as it is currently structured means that not everyone is safe

Safety is essential for personal growth & academic success

Success can not be attained by only an individual

Individual experience can not be used for change unless we reprioritize how we function as a community

Community is a farce if some of us are unsafe or unvalued


Undervalued and unheard experiences perpetuate ignorance

Ignorance can be stamped out through contact zone experiences and comprehensive education

Education is our only hope to stop the repeating cycles of oppression

Oppression can be unpacked and eliminated at Bryn Mawr if we make it a priority to educate first-years

First-years come to Bryn Mawr with many powerful and diverse experiences but we have the opportunity to shape their expanding minds and priorities at Bryn Mawr.

Bryn Mawr can be a place of safety and hope if we work together to change our mission to true inclusivity
