Our Graduate assistant Marques Dexter accompanied several dozen RHA students on a trip to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis to facilitate a dialogue unpacking the experience and connecting it to their roles as leaders on campus. One of our GAAME Ambassadors Jaquarius Raglin was present on the trip! Words cannot describe the impact of such an experience! #ugadiversity #CivilRights #GAAMEUGA @ National Civil Rights Museum
