[Daniel Lake]

 As part of the OW students Answering the CALL Series, the 2nd Annual
Student Walk-the-Talk Peace
Summit continues the inaugural collaboration of the Community Action,
Learning, and Leadership (CALL) Program and Educational Opportunity Program
(EOP). This year it greatly expands its breadth and depth to include the
Student Government Association (SGA), the Center for Student Leadership and
Involvement (CSLI), and an inter-SUNY collaboration with students from SUNY
Cortland, SUNY Nassau Community College, and SUNY Plattsburgh. It proudly
represents the first co-sponsored event of the CALL Program and The Black
Studies Center as Centers from the newly created Social Environmental
Justice Institute.

The Summit will be a moderated conversation with Sheriff Errol D. Toulon,
Jr., Suffolk County Sheriff
about challenging bias, promoting social equity, and foster community as
ways of facilitating education
and promoting social and restorative justice with responsive, responsible
advances for safety and security,
belongingness, social approval, self-esteem, and community well-being. It
will be moderated by students
from the 2023 Winter EOP Cohort with an introduction to OW students by a
representative of SGA.

The Student Walk-the-Talk Peace Summit was developed by the first
pre-freshman 2022 winter EOP
cohort enrolled in Community Learning (CL1000) to challenges bias, promote
social equity, and
foster community as a tool for facilitating education and promoting social
and restorative justice.

The Peace Talk
2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The Peace Talk will illustrate OW students are critical thinkers. During
the Peace Talk students
will introduce topics related to two context areas:
• Our Life, Our Voice
• Moving Forward Together
Within this space, students immerse themselves in a shared relation values
model and engage
their peers in a deliberative dialogue for collaborative communal change.
Students will surface
responsive, responsible advances for safety and security, belongingness,
social approval, self esteem,
and community well-being. They will become active participants in goal
setting and
achievement by re-imaging the relationship among experiential education and
social and
restorative justice in negotiating disenfranchisement and the power of
student engagement. The
Peace Talk will conclude with a Student Resolution that states in part
"....resolves and affirms on
March 1, 2023, SUNY OW students are critical thinkers who responsibly
respond through action to......"
The Peace Walk
3:30 p.m. - 3:40 p.m.
The Peace Walk will demonstrate that OW students are about responsibly
responding through
action. It will immediately follow the Peace Talk. It will host OW students
along the pathways of
the OW campus (from the Student Union, past the entrance to the NAB, up to
the NAB Shuttle
Stop, and then, reversing back to the Student Union). During the Peace
Walk, students will walk
with a picture of a person significant to them or symbol of a bias/social
inequity that impacted
them. In this way students will become Griots preserving the historical
narrative while adding to
that narrative their own personal experiences to represent family life,
community, cultural
traditions, and morals.
The Student Walk-the-Talk Peace Summit is significant because it follows
Martin Luther King, Jr.
National Day of Service and closes Black History Month, but advances three
weeks of service
leading up to the birthday of Dr. Arthur O. Eve, the founder of the
Educational Opportunity
Program.
