Our department is a service provider responsible for presenting content from across the St. Olaf community. Content and messaging on this platform may not necessarily reflect our own personal beliefs. We recognize that our work has the power to perpetuate a culture of systemic racism at St. Olaf. In order to generate needed and lasting change, we commit to supporting and affirming marginalized voices. Our platform is open to all.
