Capacity Building, Organ and Blood Donation
Description : Women hold nearly two-thirds of the outstanding student debt in the United States. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) recently published a 2017 report called "Deeper in Debt: Women and Student Loans," which explores the question of how student debt became a women’s issue. This event will take a closer look at how student debt can affect women, particularly women of color, following graduation as they enter the workforce. AAUW helps shed light on intersected issues including the gender wage gap and provides a foundation of research and resources to our communities as we ask what can be done about student debt.

Capacity Building, Organ and Blood Donation
Description : This educational forum brings together scholars, students, and community members to engage in meaningful dialogue on how, when, and why governments and ordinary people supported, complied with, ignored, or resisted targeted oppression and racial violence in different historical contexts. By exploring emerging research on the representation of historical persecution and violence, this educational forum seeks to examine the lasting impact of racism for communities in different historical contexts. This program is part of a wider outreach initiative to bring Holocaust studies into conversation with ethnic studies in the North American academy. This program is co-organized by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy in conjunction with the University of Nebraska Omaha.
