The third annual Tunnel of Oppression will be held Thursday, March 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday, March 5 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. in the Regis Room and Grupp Fireside Lounge.
This year marks the third year that the Tunnel of Oppression will be presented at Canisius. The tunnel was originally developed at Western Illinois University from a homogeneous campus environment searching for a way to represent the realities of oppression into a full-sensory experiential manner. The program is intended to be eye-opening and consciousness-raising, and is built as a brief introductory experience for those students who have rarely experienced difference. The rationale is that students are often unable to fully understand oppression and discrimination until they have experienced it first-hand. Please stop by and experience this campus initiative.
Contact Patrick Lesswing or Elaine Mrugala in the Office of Campus Programming & Leadership Development at Ext. 2190 to sign up for a time to enter the tunnel. More information can be found here.
