Description:

This community support space is developed with the hope to provide a welcoming atmosphere for Northwestern students, who identify as children of immigrants (COI) to share their experiences and connect around mutual support. In their journeys growing up in the US and navigating their NU lives, children of immigrants navigate unique experiences developing their bicultural identities in their environment, and their experiences are often different from their parents and peers.


This support space is an opportunity for students to explore and process their bicultural identities, connect around shared challenges, celebrate resilience that comes with their experiences, and find a sense of belonging and community with their peers.

Time: Every other Thursday, 3:30-4:30pm. First meeting for Spring Quarter: March 28th, 2024
Meeting dates: March 28th, April 11th, April 25th, May 9th, May 23rd
Location: Searle Hall, 633 Emerson St, Evanston: Room 3.234
