WHAT IS DOGS UNITED?

Dogs United is a movement to encourage, increase, and acknowledge cross-cultural interaction on campus.  At the Annual Diversity Conference in 2013, almost 100 campus and community members came together and worked in small groups to share ideas on how we can increase our cross-cultural interactions on the Fresno State campus.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
