Students gathered in front of The Spot dining hall Wednesday morning to celebrate and stand in solidarity for the eighth annual national “I Stand With Immigrants Day of Action.”
On Wednesday afternoon, about 40 students gathered around Citrus Lawn and engaged in activities and learned about the LGBTQ+ and Latinx community at Latinx Pride hosted by the Latino Student Forum and the LGBTQ+ Coalition.
The event filled Sneaky Park with roughly 400 students, who enjoyed burgers, snowcones and more, and learned about the University’s sports teams, while connecting with their peers.
