Ripples of Resilience

Bi-weekly, community-centered space designed to help students deconstruct timely issues, examine representation in media and society, and explore resources that support wellness and address forms of insecurity. Building on the spirit of “Wednesdays with CIL,” this series offers a mid-week pause where students can gather over food, engage thoughtfully with current events, and deepen their understanding of the forces shaping their lives and communities. Through guided conversations by Intercultural Student Interns, peer connection and access to supportive campus resources, the series invites students to move beyond the surface—exploring the “currents beneath” today’s headlines, social dynamics, and lived experiences.
