Andre and Jeff are working with the Program on Intergroup Relations here at the University of Illinois.
The Program on Intergroup Relations (PIR) facilitates dialogue among students from different social and cultural backgrounds. We provide students with a proactive educational experience that promotes the exploration of group identities and open discussion of social justice issues such as discrimination based on class, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
PIR seeks to advance students' understanding of and respect for diversity and social justice issues and to augment students' skills in responding to intergroup differences and conflicts.
