NEW* : Racism in the Time of COVID-19
COVID-19 is not an excuse to be racist.

Friday, April 10 | 12-1 pm | Join Us on Zoom.
NEW* : Developing an Anti-Racist Crisis Response
How can we develop strategies, actions, and practices that challenge and counter racism, inequalities, prejudices, and discrimination based on race during this public health crisis? Join us to brainstorm recommendations for students, staff, leadership and faculty to adopt an anti-racist crisis response.
Tuesday, April 21 | 1-2 pm | Join Us on Zoom.
In the News**
Whatcha ‘ya hearing and reading about COVID-19 and marginalized communities? The media is a powerful socialization tool that creates unspoken attitudes, beliefs, and narratives through messages and images. We often do not stop, reflect, and analyze how this tool creates internalized oppression and perpetuates racism and bias. Join us for an intentional dialogue to reflect and analyze the depiction of marginalized communities in the time of COVID-19 as it unfolds before our eyes.
Friday, April 24 | 12-1 pm | Join Us on Zoom.
