Celebrating MENA Heritage Month!
|
|
Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) students are a recently recognized population that has been historically underserved both on the UW-Madison campus and in the legal community. The Center for Pre-Law Advising is celebrating MENA this month to recognize the historical and cultural contributions of the region, as well as support the experiences and pre-law aspirations of MENA-identifying individuals.
|
|
|
|
|
Student organizations can be a great way to create community and find resources! We've listed a few MENA-related orgs on the UW campus:

The University of Wisconsin–Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE)
since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation. Today, UW–Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin.
