3. Center for Diversity and Inclusion Protesting Tip
In an email from Joseph Harris, the Coordinator of the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, he listed tips for protesting due to the many protests and demonstrations that have been occurring lately all around the country and within Greencastle.
Some tips from the email include forming a group, educating yourself, listening to protest leaders, and wearing a mask to adhere to COVID-19 and social distancing policies.
There is also a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Greencastle from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19.
Harris wants to remind students to be safe and to reach out to the CDI if there are any questions, comments, or concerns. Students may email Harris at josephharris@depauw.edu or anyone else on the CDI staff.
