On a sunny afternoon at the end of April, the Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism celebrated student and faculty accomplishments over the past year. Two award recipients were announced. The Chloe Center is grateful to all of our students, faculty, staff, and community partners for another year of collaboration and critical thinking.

(New undergraduate and graduate research grant awardees for 2026–2027 will be announced in the fall, pending budgetary approval.)
