Campus Resource Centers Collaboration

This project expands a current effort to engage with three campus resource centers: the Black Resource Center, Intertribal Resource Center, and Raza Resource Centro. The goal of the initiative is to center the voices of underrepresented students, build awareness and understanding of student needs, and gather information on how the students view and use the Library.
