Anti-Racism Workshop: Building Understanding and Creating Allies

Anne Shelley will be facilitating a diversity workshop on anti-racism from 1-3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, in the Arkansas Union, Room 504. This interactive session is designed to deepen the participant's knowledge of what it means to be anti-racist. However, this workshop not only increases understanding, it engages participants to use that understanding to become allies in creating a more inclusive and accessible campus environment.

This workshop will count for 2 hours of the Diversity Certificate Program in the race, ethnicity, and national origin category. All university employees are invited to attend. If you are interested in attending, please sign up online.
