The purpose of this event is to participate in an open dialogue and series of “lightning talks” focusing on individual experiences and the intersection of race and other social identities. We also plan to discuss the current campus climate and our role in improving it through small group discussion. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to share projects they are involved in that promote DEI initiatives.There will also be guests from the University and greater Ann Arbor community who will be sharing their experiences and facilitating these conversations.
