United & Mutually Equal (U&ME)
United & Mutually Equal is a multicultural student organization that is open to all students of Western New England College who have a desire to learn about people from different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities. The primary purpose of U&ME is to celebrate our differences and embrace our diversity, throughout the campus, as well as promote ideals of mutual equality, respect and social justice. One way this is acomplished is through a variety of events and activities the club sponsors, such as campus wide cultural dinners, inspirational speakers, and festivals, just to name a few. The club encourages its members to seek opportunities to celebrate and provide oppportunities to discuss our differences and celebrate our similarities.
The organization is also highly recognized for sponsoring the Annual Christmas Party for preschool age children, for serving dinner at various women's shelters, Ebony Food Festival & Gospel Cooncert and for planning the 1st World Fest, which has now become part of our annual traditions. While this organization does focus on the greater Springfield community, it acts as a support system for students of color as well as a team to meet the needs of students on campus.
U & ME meets every Thursday at 12:30pm in the Cultural Center in Rivers. |
