ALANA Chat

RIT contains numerous groups that ensure ALANA (African, Latin, Asian, Native American) students have access to opportunities and are in a position to flourish. However, students report that the abundance of distinct resources and groups are overwhelming and hard to track down, leaving them unsure of which opportunities to seize and which communities to engage with. ALANA Chat is a student created and operated tool for sharing information and navigating resources. Our exhibit will showcase this secure and internal website guide describing and linking the 131 units and groups on campus, such as the Latin American Student Association. This will require two monitors at a single table with four chairs. A visitor will arrive and be walked through the website on our monitor as well as a second monitor for a presentation of the process, research and proposal. We will have pamphlets containing more information about the project and a QR code to the website and encourage visitors to view the website on their own phones.
