Along with Shawndia Jones and Kevana Simpson, I help run United Through Difference, a Watkinson alliance group. UTD meets once a week to discuss controversial issues on campus, locally, and world wide.
UTD is a safe, open space for all perspectives, backgrounds, and opinions. Other clubs on campus are affinity groups—specifically directed towards a group of people who share race, sexual identity or heritage—but UTD emphasizes its non exclusivity. In fact, UTD relies on attendees with differing lifestyles and experiences to function. The whole idea of the club is to bring these viewpoints together and discuss in a respectful, positive and productive way.
