While in Mexico, students created individual and collective artwork, met people who were deported or returned, and explored how international mobility affects identities and feelings of belonging.

On Wednesday, UCI CARE hosted its annual Denim Day observance and photo contest to raise awareness about the misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding sexual assault. Above, Student Housing members show support for the campaign, which began in 1999 with an international uproar after Italy’s top court overturned the rape conviction of a 45-year-old suspect because his 18-year-old victim was wearing tight jeans at the time of the attack.
