President Blake issued an inspiring charge of ENGAGEMENT in his President’s Message on Racial Justice (in June) that we must create opportunities to “acknowledge our differences and then consider how that new knowledge can shape our own outlook and behavior. In doing so, we are empowered to see our common humanity, rather than simply being self-advancing individuals.”
To fulfill his charge, the SOAL Collective Action Series will present the Lived Experiences: A Discussion on Race, Diversity and Equity. This panel discussion is open to MGA students, faculty and staff!
The panel will share the impact of racial inequity within and outside of higher education and discuss opportunities to move forward with a renewed purpose. We will have a candid dialogue with our panelists, moderator, and participants. We hope to engage about our lived experiences in order to better understand our collective experience. Please make plans to join us!
