What is Students for Understanding?

Student Reviews
“I attended Students for Understanding, and I thought it was amazing! It opened my mind to different perspectives, and I highly recommend it to students all over campus because I feel like it invites the spirit of unity.”
~ Karen Makasi
“Students for Understanding is really cool because it's a place where we can listen to each other and talk about current events. It's there to help us learn how to listen. I really appreciate how all these things culminated together to develop a sense of leadership in yourself and I'm excited to learn more!”
~ Calvin Blackson
“It is amazing to get to talk about issues that are polarizing and typically shut down in conversation because these discussions don’t have to become an argument. Peace can coexist with learning about different perspectives, that is a skill we should develop at college and I have at students for understanding!”
~ Eliza D. Tanner
