Office of Multicultural Affairs at SFA to host Brave Space Series on mixed-race, multiracial identity

NACOGDOCHES, Texas — The Stephen F. Austin State University Office of Multicultural Affairs will host its second Brave Space Series of the fall semester at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, in the Baker Pattillo Student Center Multimedia Room. The series will feature a discussion on the identity of mixed-race and multiracial individuals.

"This Brave Space Series will discuss topics regarding mixed-race and multiracial identity," Veronica Beavers, director of OMA, said. "This discussion will allow participants to gain insight about the thoughts and struggles a mixed or multiracial person might go through."

Each month, OMA's Brave Space Series provides a forum for open and honest discussion concerning difficult topics.

“Our goal is to have SFA students, faculty and staff come together to discuss intercultural and interfaith issues and concerns that affect our global, local and campus communities,” Beavers said.

The discussion is free and open to the SFA and Nacogdoches communities. For more information, visit http://www.sfasu.edu/multicultural/480.asp.
