UW’s Multicultural Student Center celebrates 35 years

University of Wisconsin Multicultural Student Center director Claudia Guzman joins the show to help us celebrate the 35th anniversary of the MSC’s beginning within the Wisconsin Union. She also has an announcement – the Wisconsin Union and MSC teamed up to create a special limited edition Mini Terrace Chair – a tiny version of the iconic furniture found in only one place in the world. She and our cohost Stephanie (who helped on the design of the chairs, among other things related to the anniversary) talk about the inspiration for this specific design. Claudia also talks about what the anti-DEI push has meant for the MSC and what’s in store for the future. 

 

Plus, our own Omar Waheed has done some pretty deep digging on the cannabis industry in Wisconsin and talks us through the issues and opportunities there, especially for Indigenous nations.
