BioBlitz 2019

The BioBlitz is a citizen science event to document the biodiversity of Occidental College. During this one day event, we will identify as many species as possible on the Occidental College campus. These data will provide baseline knowledge about local biodiversity so we can measure how these species respond to future environmental changes.

ASOC Listening Session on Blackface, Anti-Semitism, and Eugenics

You have probably read coverage in The Occidental pertaining to former trustee Jennifer Townsend Crosthwaite, her husband Barry Crosthwaite, and honorary degree recipient Paul Popenoe. As promised prior to Spring Break, ASOC is hosting a town hall listening session. In light of the additional information available, we will be expanding topics discussed to include blackface, anti-semitism, and eugenics. 

Masculinity and Mental Health Discussion Space

Paul Charbonneau will be leading the monthly meetings. Here what he has to say about this space:

"[Masculinity and Mental Health] is going to be a space of education and discussion surrounding mental health, masculinity, and how those two intersect in our modern world. Battling with my own mental illness and recently becoming a full fledged advocate and speaker for mental illness this past year has underscored the importance of having a space like this for male-identifying individuals at Oxy. I'm hoping to make this a meaningful monthly gathering."
