Student advocacy group Unheard is giving all students a chance to have a voice and express themselves with its Letter Writing Campaign event.
It is welcoming students of all backgrounds and races to voice their thanks, concerns or any other thoughts to the University of Oklahoma senior administration.
“Any and all feelings [students] want to express to senior leadership, that’s what the campaign is for,” said Chelsea Davis, Unheard member.
Davis said the primary receivers of these letters will be the deans of each university college, but letters to any prominent leader on campus will be accepted. She is also confident that the receivers of these letters will take them with open arms.
“We’ve gotten a lot of outreach from different senior administrators at the university,” she said. “So I feel like they are listening and we do have their attention.” She said she is very proud of the way the university has handled Unheard.
Davis also said she hopes students take this opportunity to be heard and to show the addressees that there are more than just the members of Unheard who have things to say to them.
“We hope students come out and tell about their own personal experiences and speak on their own behalf,” she said. “We want to give that opportunity to as many students as possible.
Davis said the goal is still the same as all other Unheard events: to raise awareness and to be heard.
“We keep pushing for awareness so that nobody can say they didn’t know,” she said.
Unheard’s event will take place at 7 p.m. February 23 in the Wagner Hall Writing Center.
