R.E.A.L :
Relations, Ethnicity, Activism and Leadership

R.E.A.L is a program designed to provide students with an opportunity to engage in critical and meaningful dialogue about issues that are pertinent to the development of their campus, community, and themselves as global leaders. This program explores the many facets of our growing society and focuses on multicultural issues. Each R.E.A.L session is facilitated by a different UCO faculty member who is eager to explore these exciting and challenging topics with the students. R.E.A.L provides an experience that is impacting, life changing and serves to challenge students and potentially change their experience at UCO as well as their outlook on life in new and innovative ways.
