"No puedo respirar": racismo ininterrumpido en Estados Unidos
Olga González, Associate Dean of the IGC and Associate Professor of Anthropology, and Erika Busse-Cárdenas, Assistant Professor of Sociology wrote this article for La Mula, a media site in Peru. They note, "As Peruvians living in the Twin Cities we think it is a responsibility to share information about the social unrest in the Twin Cities with people in our country of origin. We wrote it for a Spanish-speaking audience to reach readers in Latin America, Spain and immigrants that are part of the Spanish-speaking diaspora, that includes the United States."

CEC provides multi-faceted ways for students to engage with the larger community
Students in the Outdoor Environmental Education Course teach elementary school students at the Ordway Field Station. Each year, about 60 academic courses include a community-based engagement component, just one of the ways students can become involved during their time at Mac through the Civic Engagement Center.
The Kofi Annan Institute for Global Citizenship fosters global citizenship by advancing scholarship, reflection, and ethical action in our local, national, and international communities.

From the annual International Roundtable to study away, to civic engagement, our programs unite students, faculty, and community partners toward the common purpose of advancing scholarship, reflection, and ethical action.
