Bear Biographies: A Library of Lived Experiences is an annual outreach event hosted by the library with support from multiple campus partners. It is an opportunity for our campus to come together and learn from folks who come from different lived experiences and backgrounds by engaging in meaningful conversations.
Participants can either be Books or Readers. Books sign up in advance to share about aspects of their identities where they have experienced prejudice and bias. Readers attend the event and engage in dialogue with the Books by asking thoughtful questions about their experiences.
The goal of Bear Biographies is to break down barriers caused by harmful stereotypes and build a stronger, more connected campus community. Please join us on Tuesday, April 8th, from 12-4 in Torreyson Library. It is a drop-in event, so come by whenever you have time!
