We are partnering with Susen Trail, a Safety Consultant, to help us identify areas of risk and put programs in place to mitigate that risk. Susen is a Certified Industrial Hygienist who has worked in occupational safety since obtaining her Masters degree from the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health in 1997.

Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional which communicate hostile, derogatory or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.
The most detrimental forms of microaggressions are usually delivered by well-intentioned individuals who are unaware that they have engaged in harmful conduct toward a socially devalued group.
This keynote address will show how microaggressions are manifested in institutions of higher learning, and how it impacts students, staff, faculty and administrators from socially devalued groups in our society.
Registration is FREE for faculty, staff and students.
Registration for the public: $175
