The program on Intergroup Relations (IGR) offers opportunities to learn and explore social group identity, group dynamics, and the relationships between groups. IGR is a partnership between the Division of Student Life and the College of Literature, Science and the Arts.
IGR offers many opportunities to get involved and learn, such as CommonGround. CommonGround is a student-led, student-serving program—for student organizations, residence halls, fraternities and sororities, academic courses, and other student communities—to nurture social identity development and enhance group dynamics. Through our 1.5-3 hour interactive workshops, trained graduate and undergraduate facilitators guide your group through a series of activities and discussions, raising understanding of social identity, prejudice, stereotyping, power, privilege, and oppression—and building a community of social justice advocates on campus.
