Transformative Tools for Dorm Unity: Utilizing Black Lives Matter Principles
Join us in familiarizing ourselves with the 13 principles of the Black Lives Matter movement, particularly if you are part of our BPIC student community. By understanding and applying these principles within our dorms, we can create a positive and empowering environment for all. By integrating the principles of Black Lives Matter into our dorm environment and engaging students through various forms of expression, we can create a space where every student feels valued, loved, and celebrated. Your involvement is crucial in making this vision a reality. Let's come together to apply the chosen principle in the dorms, utilizing art, storytelling, dance, social media, and film as transformative tools. Through this collective effort, we can foster a sense of belonging and empower our diverse student body.
