Dewayne Wrencher
-Major: Business Management and a Minor in Art
-Year in school: 2nd Year
-Why you came to UWL: I came to the UW-L only after I
realized I had a network of friends or a community that will
help me deal with the challenges of attending a
predominantly white University as a Person of Color. The
fact that UW-La Crosse is a great school came after I knew I
had the latter.
-Other groups you are involved with: I have been apart of
many groups on this campus such as: BSU, ALANA, MUASA, SFT,
etc.
-What you hope to accomplish this year: I hope to accomplish
a UNITY within the many Diversity Organizations and use my
skills in art, facilitating, and caring for education to
teach this campus the importance of unity within the
University. The United Against Hate Campaign and Boxes and
Walls event are just the start.
The Social Justice Director will be charged with raising awareness and promoting social equality throughout campus.
