What does IME mean to you? To me, IME means community. I come from a pretty racially diverse area, so coming to Lewis and Clark has been my first time experiencing what it is like to be a person of color at a predominantly white institution, and it has been super alienating for me. IME has been a space where I can find other people of color and build that community that I have been lacking in the greater LC sphere.
