Posted: Friday, August 28, 2020Bengals Dare to Care 2020
Traditionally, Bengals Dare to Care is a day of service that brings the Buffalo State College community together in partnership to make an impact on organizations and our neighbors across the region. As we strive to keep our students and community safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as engage our campus community in discussions of racial justice, we have made the decision to reimagine our day of caring into a four-week experience to demonstrate Buffalo State’s commitment to social responsibility, community building, and social justice.
Please join me from October 26 to November 21 to learn, engage, and take action on racial justice. Each week we will focus on a topic, feature a virtual speaker event, provide additional resources for engaging in the issue on a local level, and list ways in which individuals can take action.
- Tuesday, October 27, 4:00–5:00 p.m., Franchelle C. H. Parker and Max Anderson, Open Buffalo
- Wednesday, November 4, 2:00–3:00 p.m., Daniel Robertson, Manager of Boys and Men of Color Initiative, Say Yes Buffalo
- Monday, November 9, 12:30–1:30 p.m., Kirby Briggs, Kirby’s Korner, and Alex Burgos, MOCHA Center
- Thursday, November 19, 12:15–1:15 p.m., Ada Garcia-Poll, ’18, and Hannah Kalmeyer, ’21
