March is Multiracial Heritage Month

Multiracial Heritage Month 2023: Taking Root

This year’s multiracial heritage month theme aims to celebrate the beauty of blooming from various roots. This theme is both timely and critical on campus and in society as we seek to honor and recognize what it means and looks like to be a multiracial, multiethnic, or transracial adoptee. This theme encompasses the exploration and identity development that comes from taking root in your own identities.
