Race & Immigration
At Warren Wilson College, our engagement in the community is focused on addressing social and environmental justice issues. We find that the issues that we care about in the world are often connected and there are many points of intersection.
By diving deeply into our Race & Immigration Issue Area, you’ll gain an understanding of the effects of racial injustice and current immigration practices, and work with organizations who address oppression through their commitment to empowerment, inclusion and diversity.
Engagement Opportunities
The opportunities for engaging in the Race & Immigration Issue Area are complex and multi-dimensional, providing vast opportunities for increasing your understanding. Experiences have included:
