Eradicating Racism Student Union for Racial Equity finds grassroots at SIUE

The fact that racism does exist is the foundation of a wide-spread need for interracial communication according to Grant Irvine, Student Union for Racial Equality treasurer and senior mechanical engineering major.
SURE is a recent addition to SIUE's student organizations. According to Andrew Heffron, junior mechanical engineering major and SURE vice president, the group is aiming to initiate greater communication among differing races.
"The group seeks to eradicate racism and other forms of discrimination and to build better understanding between people of different backgrounds," he said.
