"The idea of JSU is to be a space for Jewish people to just have a space to be Jewish and also for people who are curious about Jewish culture, or want to learn, or want a space to be. We sit and we talk about whatever's on our minds. You know, occasionally we'll plan events, we'll do events for some Jewish holidays, and we're always trying to plan stuff, and trying to work on education and whatnot. So it really just gives us a space for people to experience a little bit of Jewish-ness in whatever way it manifests itself at Rep. You do not have to be Jewish or even know anything about Judaism to join. Everyone is welcome, everyone should come, and the bread is good, too. So show up and eat bread!" - Emmet Marcus, JSU Representative
"The Black Student Union (BSU) is held in room 206 on B2 days run by President Skye Poindexter. In BSU, we talk about the imperfections and inspirations that impact Black students in and out of Rep’s halls. BSU members engage in learning activities, develop leadership and community skills, and celebrate Black culture, lifestyle, joy and history. BSU’s mission is to provide students with a safe space to feel comfortable to talk about opportunities, issues and successes. Come to our 2nd BSU Potluck on November 15 and pop out to a meeting!" - Skye Poindexter, BSU President

"My goal for ASU is to get as many people, especially underclassmen, in there and learning about Asian culture and also learning about their own cultures as well. I don't know, I just like hearing people's stories. So, that's my goal, is for everybody to learn their own stories, their family's stories, and also each other's stories. I like how consistent some of the members are, 'cause it's just like seeing the same people, and talking to them, and learning more about them and each other. It definitely builds lasting friendships." - Dylan Chu-Zambrano, ASU President

"GSA is an organization at every high school that allows students who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community, it allows them to have that space to be themselves and express themselves in different ways that are comfortable for them. It's important for high schools because that's one of the most underserved [communities of] students in high school and they always need an outlet and someplace where they feel safe, and to work on things that impact them, such as any type of activism, creating awareness around different LGBTQIA+ issues, and just to have a sense of community among themselves within the school. It makes students feel safe. It's designed to be a safe space for students to feel like they are part of a community and they are not ostracized in any way, and also to make other people aware that they're people too, and they're just like everyone else. - Malik Bell, GSA Facilitator
"CORE is our Coalition on Racial Equity, and it started many years ago, probably seven or eight years ago, when we decided that we really needed a space to talk explicitly about cross-cultural, cross-racial issues that are coming up in the world and also locally at Repertory. It's more recent form has really been a space for folks who go to affinity groups and have the space to talk about things that are happening within their own lived experience and their own culture, to come to a deliberately cross-cultural space, and lend their perspective to that. So whether it's an issue going on somewhere in the world that affects certain populations and members of those populations are here at Rep, and they can speak knowledgeably on their understanding and history of it, or whether it's those who are just curious about it and want to sort of talk through how it's affecting them, CORE is a space to have brave conversations." - Michael Fram, School Principal & CORE Facilitator
