OUR VALUES
We, at the Student Environmental Resource Center (SERC), condemn the recent acts of violence against the Black community, as well as the historic systemic racism and oppression that has allowed such acts of brutality to persist. Our center is rooted and grounded in values of community, love, and justice, and we rise in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and our Black community members, neighbors, students, staff, and faculty.
