DREAM Center Kicks Off DREAM Hour
The DREAM Center has launched DREAM Hour, an opportunity
for students, faculty, staff and administrators to engage in unscripted
conversations about delicate topics that impact everyone’s lives. The company
is good, conversations are relevant, tea and snacks are delicious and the time
spent together is joyful.
Students who have participated in the DREAM Hour have
expressed:
“Everyone who goes to the DREAM hour are students or staff
who want to have tea or snacks and take a rest together. We know our
lives are stressful because of the decisions made in politics that impact
us. We give ourselves an hour of our lives in a social gathering.
For an hour, we remind ourselves of what food we like, what makes us laugh,
what amazing ideas we have, and what makes us great. We share our
greatness with each other, re-establishing our desire to live and overcome the
obstacles in a world we care about.” –
Marvin Nieto-Cruz, DREAMers Student Club
“DREAM Hour is a time where we can come together as a
community, decompress and just talk about how we’re feeling to keep us
uplifted. We check in to see how everyone’s feeling. If we need
help, we’re able to support each other with anything we need. There’s no
agenda. That’s the great thing about it.” – Andres Aguilar, BTO Peer
Mentor
The BTO (Bridge to Opportunities) Peer Mentors have teamed
up with the DREAMers Task Force and the Learning Center staff to support the
DREAM Hour. The DREAM Hour takes place every Thursday in the DREAM Center
(Building 9, Second Floor) from 12:30 – 2 p.m.
