This group is dedicated to providing a space fo r women of color student to connect\, dialogue\, celebrate\, and support each other&rsquo\;s whole authentic selves through an intersectional lens . Our monthly meetings will center on a specific topic\, issue\, or curre nt event that students wish to learn more about or process openly with th eir peers. The intent is to foster intercultural dialogue and to create a brave space where students can share their unique perspectives and creat e a community of solidarity\, support and affirmation. We define the term Women of Color as the following: \; \;
\n \;&ldquo\;Al l women who identify as one or multiple marginalized racial or ethnic ide ntities. It is a political designation\, not based on biological\, phenot ypical\, or genetic factors. The origins of the term were born out of the anti-violence against women movement and created at the 1977 National Wo men&rsquo\;s Conference. It is a term dedicated to solidarity and a commi tment to work in collaboration with all women of color who have been mino ritized.&rdquo\; \; \;
