The Diversity Digest

Processing Recent Tragedies



The shooting in Uvalde, Texas, follows a string of tragic shootings within the last month in Buffalo, New York, Houston, Texas, and San Bernardino and Laguna Woods, California. UCLA itself experienced threats of a mass shooting nearly six years ago. This issue is dedicated to providing direction and resources so that we can learn and process these events as a community as we continue in the struggle to implement solutions.
