As part of the Broadening Understanding, Intercultural Leadership, and Development (B.U.I.L.D.) program, Deena Godwin, Yusufu Kamara, and Marilyn Hale moved forward an initiative to create a DREAMers decal to communicate support for members of our community who are undocumented. This artwork was designed by students and consulted and collaborated with DREAMer students—thanks to Professor Kristl Plinz and the fall 2020 DMA 102 class for leading this effort!
