Abstract
This will be a workshop-style presentation. We will both examine and encourage participants to get involved in the social media campaigns which raise the concerns of students of color on college campuses. We will examine the proliferation of using social media as a vehicle for students whose voices are not being heard or recognized. We utilize Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a theoretical lens in order to analyze different aspects of these social media campaigns. In conjunction with this analysis, we will conduct a hands-on workshop in which individuals can share ideas and create their own message. Participants will be encouraged to share their message via a social media platform of their choice.
