On Friday April 12 the Reach Committee will be holding a public dialogue to address
issues of cultural awareness. Interested students can meet in the Org Complex at 6:00 p.m.
“REACH actually stands for Raiders Educating and Advancing Cultural Horizons,” explains
Lola Adebayo. “It’s meant to be a liaison between students and the student government.”
According to Adebayo, the committee was founded this year when she became Director of
Campus Culture, with the intent of discussing issues of cultural awareness. “There are so many
different kinds of students on campus, not just in terms of racial minorities, but in terms of
majors, or parents with children,” Adebayo explained.
The Reach Committee meets three times a month to talk about cultural awareness on
campus. The last meeting of each month is open to the public. Adebayo stressed that students
“don’t have to be affiliated with an organization or be a leader of an org.” The public dialogue
meeting each month is meant to help the student government understand what they should
focus on in terms of cultural awareness.
Students who are interested in becoming involved with the Reach Committee may
contact Lola Adebayo at lola.adebayo@wsusg.com.
