We will talk about current statistics in our region, nation, and the world. The session will include a Q&A session.
Featuring panelist Dr. Luis Ramos, who has been working with patients in the pharmacy field since 1998. Dr. Ramos worked his way up from an assistant to a technician to finally attending the University of Washington and receiving his Pharm D degree in 2010. Through his career, he developed a passion for HIV care and became certified as an HIV-specialized pharmacist through the American Association of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM).

12:30p-2:30p: THE COLOR OF FEAR – FILM (Room 9208)
Please join the Black Student Union for a film screening and subsequent discussion of the film, The Color of Fear. The film centers around eight North American men – two African American, two Latinos, two Asian American, and two white-identified – who were gathered by director Lee Mun Wah for an important dialog about the state of race relations in America as seen through their eyes. The exchanges highlight the pain caused by racism in North America.
1p-3p: FREE HEALTH TESTING (Room 9201)
The nonprofit organization, GayCity, will be on campus to offer free HIV and STD screenings. From the organizers: “Testing for HIV and sexually transmitted infections remains one our most important core services, providing an opportunity for our community’s most marginalized groups to gain access to much needed HIV prevention resources. Of the nearly 4,000 free HIV tests we provided last year: half were people under thirty, a quarter of people were uninsured, two-thirds of people were economically disadvantaged and half were people of color.”

Mayor Roberts graduated from Willamette University in 2000 and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2012 in Political Science. On the council, he serves as a member of the Association of Washington Cities Legislative Committee, the Sound Cities Association Public Issues Committee, and as an alternate to the Puget Sound Regional Council Growth Management Policy Board.

12:30p-1:30p: “ECHAO P’ALANTE” – Working towards an inclusive & intersectional understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement (Room 9208)
The Civil Rights Movement did not just start in 1954 and end in 1964. Our primary school education, history books, and associated media have in many ways collapsed and limited our understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement by esteeming certain types of action and actors while vilifying others, often at the expense of the collaborative movements that many have worked so hard to build. This workshop will draw on a variety of media in order to highlight multiple forms of resistance and sustained struggle against oppression culminating in all of the participants working together to build an inclusive and intersectional timeline of the Civil Rights Movement.
Wednesday, May 17th
10:30a-11:30a: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WITH POLICE (Room 9208)

12:30p-2:30p: WALKOUT – FILM (Room 9208)
The 2006 film Walkout is a dramatization of the historic 1968 walkout in Los Angeles, a Chicanx student-led protest responding to untenable learning conditions and systemic racism in the schools. This film highlights the experiences of students in East Los Angeles protesting academic prejudice and dire school conditions. An award-winning film producer and community activist, Moctesuma Esparza, helped organize the 1968 walkout and was arrested and jailed along with 12 others for conspiracy to disturb the peace. This film helps center the organization of Chicanx students in the struggle for a voice in activism.
Thursday, May 18th
11:30a-12:30p: ASIAN CULTURE & STEREOTYPES AWARENESS DISCUSSION (Room 9202)

This discussion will provide an opportunity for students to share their experiences, learn about Asian American history, and discover ways to get involved on and off campus.
12:30pm-2:30pm: PROMISED LAND – FILM (Room 9208)
“Promised Land” is a social justice documentary that follows two tribes in the Pacific Northwest – the Duwamish and the Chinook – as they fight for the restoration of treaty rights they’ve long been denied.

We invite you to join us for our next event Thurs., May 11 in PUB 9208 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. The theme for May is *Mental Health Awareness*!
This month’s featured faculty speaker is Dr. Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson. The event will feature several student presentations (including speeches, original writing, Q&A, and art presentations) on mental health topics as well as opportunity for open discussion as time allows.
S^3 Shoreline Students Speak is a series of community-oriented and student-led awareness events. Each month will coincide with a theme that will help set the tone for a central discussion. The goal is to have many volunteers speak and express their thoughts so that we can all gain new perspectives and learn from each other through the use of all forms of communication. The structure is similar to an open mic and incorporates a call to action by encouraging community involvement related to the monthly theme. Get curious; connect with your community by sharing your experience and become involved!
Our last event of the quarter will be Mentor Appreciation in June. If you would like to submit a presentation proposal for the June Mentor Appreciation event OR if you run or are a member of a club that might want to co-sponsor one of our events, contact the Public Speaking Leadership Club at http://facebook.com/shorelineccpslc.
