N ot T olerating Z ero E nvironmental R ace-integration O n campus P.O.I.N.T. Z.E.R.O. is a newly formed student organization committed to engaging in dialogue aimed at overcoming racism on campus. During the final session of the dialogue circles in spring 1999, students discussed action aimed at addressing the problem of racism seen in various forms of discrimination, alienation and negative race relations on campus. P.O.I.N.T. Z.E.R.O. addresses this reality through group dialogue and discussions, guest speakers and other intellectual and social activities. We recognize that we are a diverse population striving for education and hopefully a deeper understanding that can lead to racial healing. All members of the SU community are invited to the table for these discussions.
All students are welcome and encouraged to join our organization.
Before a more unified campus can become a reality, individuals must first discuss issues which have separated them. The goal is to strive for campus unity, where all members of the SU community acknowledge the existence of racism and take a position of Zero Tolerance. As a student organization, P.O.I.N.T. Z.E.R.O. recognizes the need for hope and for positive interaction as we go through this difficult process. We wish to create forums for us to learn about each other, and dispel negative stereotypes and other prejudiced notions. Cultural events aimed at awareness and appreciation are therefore our secondary consideration.
