Removing Barriers: Build a Bear Event

We often judge people based on their single story - a glimpse into their lives that they share with us. We never think about who they are and what they have done outside of that single story. This event will serve as a way to discover other stories and become aware of the dangers of the single story. We will create our own stories while building a stuffed animal of your choice. The lines starts to form an hour before the event begins. We suggest you come early and be patient.

Location: Multicultural Services and Programs, HMSU 7^th Floor    
Dates: Fall and Spring TBA
