Volume 8

Did you get to check out the BLM Flag raising ceremony this past Sunday?

Did you participate in the Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebration this past Monday?

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s pretty uplifting to witness Castleton take these steps towards celebrating inclusivity on campus!

Here’s what’s brewing this week:
