Discussion, reflection are key in understanding a ‘tumultuous summer’

By Leena Dahal

In front of an audience of around 20 students, faculty and staff, Ray Lin, Assistant Director of the Center for Race, Ethnicity & Diversity Education, sighed into his microphone. Reflecting on the shootings of black men by law enforcement officers over the summer of 2016 — including that of Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old black man who was shot and killed during a confrontation with two police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana — Lin urged the audience took look at the bigger picture. “These events are nothing new — they are symptoms of much larger, systemic problems,” he said.

BARRETO: Recognizing my privilege and fear of misspeaking

 

Around three years ago, the Black Lives Matter movement began. And for the most part, I’ve stayed silent. I watch the news every day and continuously see acts of institutional racism, and yet say nothing about them. Sure, I’ve shared and liked videos on Facebook that others post, but that is the extent of my action. Or, I guess I should say, inaction. I hear these discussions of white supremacy, but refrain from saying a word.

Grief, loss support group provides comfort for Elon faculty, staff

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.
