HUB Community Circles
HUB Community Circles offer students the opportunity to engage in the collective process of storytelling. These circles provide a space for participants with similar values, experiences, and backgrounds to have meaningful conversations that emphasize listening, connection, and empathy. The structure of these circles is designed to create a safe and supportive environment, promoting authentic and equitable dialogue. For any questions, please contact thehub@sonoma.edu.
2024-2025 Community Circles
Join the Native American & Indigenous (NAI) community circle to practice your beading techniques and connect with other Native and Indigenous students every week. Facilitated by Nicole Jones, jonesni@sonoma.edu.
Umoja Queens is a monthly community building and mentorship group for Black Women. Students are paired and mentored by professional black Women that are part of the Seawolf community. We strive to support, encourage, and empower Black Women as they explore their personal values, beliefs and ideas during their matriculation at SSU. Facilitated by Zahra Beatty-James, beattyjame@sonoma.edu.
The Women of Color Collective (WOCC) is a weekly community building and discussion space co-facilitated by WOC faculty from CAPS and staff from the HUB. Share and be inspired by our collective stories as WOC SSU students. Connect, support, empower and share resources and kinship as we navigate the joys and challenges of our beautiful, intersectional experiences. This group is for all Cis and Trans women, as well as non-binary SSU students who are comfortable in a space that centers on the experiences of women. Facilitated by Isa Avilla, avilai@sonoma.edu.
