Join Student Multicultural and Diversity Programs (SMDP) and their Social Justice Advocacy Council (SJAC) on Nov. 14, 2017 from 6-7 p.m. in the Underground Room of the New Freshman Residence Hall for "How to Occupy Spaces As An Ally." As part of their reactionary programming series, which occurs once per semester, this interactive workshop is meant to spark conversation about how individuals can support and advocate for marginalized communities as allies. This free event is open to all students. Dinner will be provided.

SJAC is a programming, leadership and advocacy board comprised of a diverse group of students that promote multicultural awareness and inclusive excellence. Their objective is to celebrate diversity of identity, broaden cultural understanding, encourage unity, empower marginalized and underrepresented groups, educate about identity related issues and promote intercultural interactions between all communities of people at UAB.
