*Place I feel unwelcomed and
unsupported: Path to My Hall

night, because it's not well lit and
it's near uptown. And being a
woman I don't have the privilege of
walking around at night not having
to worry about my safety. “

*Place I feel welcomed and supported: Phan Shin
“Not only this is an Asian restaurant but also the
service there is fantastic. They treat you really nice
and they do their best to make you feel comfortable.
In addition, I know the owner there and she calls my
name every time I come. “

“Where Do You Feel Supported?”
“Where Do You Feel Unsupported?”
*Place I feel unwelcomed and unsupported: Farmer School of Business
“Even though I am a business major and I spend a lot of time in
FSB, I consider it as the least welcome place on campus. As an
international student, I feel like domestic students see me with
prejudices and treat me differently. The environment in FSB is
cold and intense.”

“Where Do You Feel Unsupported?”
*Place I feel unwelcomed and
unsupported: Campus Library
“This is a place I don't particularly
feel safe. Not to say that I feel
threatened in the library or
anything, but this is a central space
and part of campus where people
break off into their own cliques, or
are alone. It’s not an inclusive
environment.”

control the environment.”
