Racial Equity Consciousness Institute spring 2023

February 8, 2023 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm

Through the Institute, participants explore and engage the racial equity consciousness framework and its spheres of embodiment in efforts to bolster capabilities and motivations to consider, seek, and employ different perspectives across racial differences; elevate cultural humility, competence, and agency—empowering attitudes and commitments towards advancing racially equitable and inclusive communities;  and ultimately, grow confidence and mindsets to be innovative and action-oriented agents for transformative social change.
