Student groups bond over adversities, diversity
In the spring of 2020, the global pandemic was overshadowed by an endemic national problem: A series of police-involved killings of Black men and women led to mass protests and calls for change. Though the School of Medicine had affirmed its intent to make SIU an anti-racist institution the year before, there was some skepticism that much was being done. An assortment of student groups saw the need for unifying activism and stepped into the fray.
