I love seeing all the fun events and tablings that we get to do. The most important thing to me about being a DIBA is that we get a chance to make a difference on campus.

The center welcomes all types of people to come and hang out, and learn more about how you can make a change on campus. It is a supportive space that allows everyone to feel accepted no matter what their background is.
