Solidarity Cabinet exists to live out the Gospel message of reconciliation to God and to one another with particular focus on how this reconciliation works itself out in issues of racial and ethnic diversity. We seek to educate the community in the ways that racism exists systemically, enabling Wheaton College graduates to cultivate racial reconciliation in their spheres of influence. We invite you to consider applying for Solidarity Cabinet Chair, for which applications are due Monday, March 18. Be sure to check out the different Solidarity Cabinet Roles before you apply!
