LIFT UP Reception

On Tuesday, November 5 from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m., please join organizers of our new Employee Resource Group LIFT UP (Low Income/First-gen Talent Unpacking Privilege) for a reception in the Pusey Room. 

The group welcomes all faculty and staff who identify as either/both of these to enjoy a happy hour full of opportunities to mingle over light refreshments.  The gathering will provide space to discuss issues of socioeconomics, privilege, and class that we encounter every day while fostering stronger social support networks. 

LIFT UP is a group designed to address issues that employees who identify as having experiences as a low-income and/or first-generation student, while also dismantling silence and stereotypes surrounding these issues so that students and others find strong, positive models of strength, resilience, and success.
