UIC Life (Stop the Stigma)

stigma

Please take a second to look at the PDF created and shared by the Office of Diversity with the collaboration of other UIC departments regarding COVID-19 stigma. Now is the time to keep our implicit biases in check, while providing compassion and empathy towards one another!

  • DO speak up if you see, hear and/or read false and/or discriminatory and biased information about COVID-19. You can correct false information and offer factual information about the virus: how it spreads, how we can care for one another, and how this knowledge helps us all to stay safe.
  • DO offer compassion and support to yourself and those who have been impacted by the spread of COVID-19 and the rise in discrimination and bias.

Be kind whenever possible. For it is always possible. – Dalai Lama

 

Made in collaboration with the UIC Asian American Resource and Cultural Center, the Office of International Services,
