Our Stories

These courses provide a much needed opportunity to engage in dialogue, self-reflection and community building. Doing so replaces misinformation with empathy, compassion and belonging.

It feels amazing to see more and more students at Fitchburg State who want to get engaged. It’s so close and dear to me to see young Latinos and people of color, because I totally know what they’re going through.

Our goal is to hear voices we don’t always hear. Our students are so smart, and so connected, we want to hear all the solutions they have.

What I’ve tried to do in the program is to help students self-advocate and to help them understand how academic settings work.

We want to empower students to be the authors of their own stories. It’s really about rethinking what this center can do to amplify voices that are most silenced in this society.

Addressing the systemic barriers to student success will take a campus-wide commitment.

Fighting for equality is always at my core, along with human rights. We should all be able to start with a clean slate.

While we practice using contingency tables and finding probabilities, we are looking at the issue of constitutionality and racial profiling in the practice.

I think it’s more important than it’s ever been to get students together to have these social experiences. We’re trying  to take that virtual space and make it social.

It’s definitely been hard and anxiety-provoking, because I’ve been putting myself at risk every day for my patients. But I’m extremely grateful I can do my part and lend a hand to helping the people in need at this time.
