Critical Issues in Race, Class & Leadership Education (CIRCLE) Program
Surviving and thriving since 1988!
CIRCLE is a weekly, noncredit seminar featuring diverse subjects over six sessions. Student participants have the opportunity to meet trail blazers in the community and engage in lively discussions on race, class, gender, and more.
APA community site visits, intimate group settings, and a two-day intensive overnight retreat enable students to build a bridge from greater awareness to activism.
