RE: Activism at Mizzou
MESSAGE: Email etiquette can influence your work relationships and job prospects. Our hosts address the importance of subject lines, salutations, and language.
Then, in this special edition Mizzou Moment, we further discuss performative activism and its relevance over the past few years. We provide you with first-hand accounts of racism on campus, interviewing an anonymous Mizzou residential life employee and Austin Pascal, a graduate who was a freshman during 2015—a year that saw alarming numbers of racially motivated conflicts on campus. Our final interview is with Zion Ford, the president, and Caleb Sewell, the president-elect, of the Legion of Black Collegians, the only Black Student-run Government in the United States. We discuss the history of racism at Mizzou and objectives for the future.
