Friday, April 13 from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, April 14 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at St. Norbert College
Lawrence University is a sponsor of the White Privilege Symposium, hosted by The Privilege Institute and St. Norbert College. The Diversity and Intercultural Center has offered to pay the registration fee for a limited number of students who would like to attend. Lawrence faculty, staff and students are being offered a discounted registration fee of $40. Lawrence fleet van(s) will be available on both days to provide transportation to and from the symposium.
Symposium participants will learn about the history of privilege in this country and explore ways to advance equity. With the help of keynote speakers and workshops, they will explore issues such as income inequality, disparities in the justice system, and barriers to education and employment as impediments to progress. This is not about blame; this is about listening deeply, talking with each other and increasing awareness that leads to the understanding we all desire. All are invited! Your attendance is an investment in the future of our communities, which are enriched by diverse experiences.
