Resonance & Roots: Amplifying voices at UWSP
Welcome to Resonance & Roots, an online archive and community advocacy space dedicated to amplifying the lived experiences of BIPOC, immigrant, and underrepresented communities at UWSP. We believe that true equity requires honoring the entire spectrum of our stories- from the journeys that brought us here, to the cultural traditions that sustain our daily lives, to the sacred ways we care for our elders and honor end-of-life transitions. Through shared narratives and data- driven advocacy, we bridge the gaps in campus support.
