Welcome to our blog!

The Women of Color Coalition, MEChA, and the Black Student Union are just a few student groups on campus for students of color. Many of the student groups come together to do events around campus. Just yesterday, most of these groups came together for a potluck to share foods from different cultures.

Here at Evergreen, you have the opportunity to create your own class. We are doing a contract this quarter that we have created ourselves along with First Peoples. The goal of our contract is to bring more students of color to Evergreen, to help make the campus a more diverse place. Our contract includes several readings, watching films, contacting prospective students, and going to different schools talking with students of color. For our final project, we are going to bring a group of high school students of color to Evergreen, showing them the resources we have available specifically for those students.

Since one of us normally studies computer science, we were able to include that into our contract by re-designing the First Peoples website. Anything you are interested in, you can find a class that best suits you and what you desire to do most as a future career.

Thank you for the compliment! You actually cannot download this template. The running banner on the top of this page a picture of a mural we have in our First Peoples Lounge on campus. Maybe you’ll just have to visit to check it out for yourself
