Event Planning
Forum Preparation Paperwork
In May of 2018, a coalition of Black students staged a sit-in at the administration building on the Centre College campus to demand changes to school policy in the Athletic Department, Department of Public Safety, Dining Services, Diversity Office, President’s Office, and Title IX Office. In the Fall of 2018, a forum was conducted as part of the "Building Bridges Day" to revisit the events of the sit-in. Article: Time's Up: Black Students Demand Change Spring 2018
