Dear Solidarity Cabinet Applicant:
We are really excited about your interest in joining the 2019-2020 Solidarity Cabinet. The purpose of Solidarity Cabinet is to increase awareness of the current need for racial reconciliation within the Wheaton College community. We seek to raise awareness in the community about the ways that racism exists systemically, insititutionally, and individually, enabling Wheaton College students to cultivate racial reconciliation within their sphere of influence.
Next year’s board will consist of 7 positions (apart from the Chair): Administrator (1), Public Relations Coordinators (2), Event Coordinators (3) and a Chaplain (1).
Additionally, please take into account the following expectations before you apply:
- You are committed to the purpose of Solidarity Cabinet as described above. You will preserve and advance the vision of reconciliation in faithful and innovative ways.
- You are committed and dedicated to Solidarity Cabinet for the full academic year. This means that you are willing to forgo other commitments so that you may be able to commit more fully to Solidarity Cabinet.
