Cultural Competency Lecture Series – Activism and Social Change

Guilberly Louissaint ’17 and Max Loebl ’17 will present on activism & social change on May 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Warch Campus Center’s Esch Hurvis Room.

Student activism has become interwoven with our campus culture. It has taken different forms, such as protesting, workshops or even the creation of healing circles. It is imperative more than ever to be more strategic with student organizing. Communication and solid leadership are key components in creating successful outcomes during times of turmoil. Guil & Max will explore effective forms of activism, through student engagement, goal setting, impact analysis and personal experience.

The Cultural Competency Lecture Series at Lawrence features our faculty, students and staff sharing their expertise related to the knowledge and skills necessary to take a culturally competent, equity-minded approach to the work and learning in which they are engaged. Bring your lunch and learn!

Please join us by RSVPing to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu .

Employee Resource Group – People of Color UPDATE!

Thank you to those who were able to make the first set of meetings for the People of Color Employee Resource Group on April 11.  It was a nice time for folks to get together and begin to map out what shape the group will take.  We captured our audience through Banner self-identification as a person of color.  If you were not initially invited and would like to be involved, please send Christyn Abaray, christyn.abaray@lawrence.edu, your contact information – name and email address.  It will be maintained privately with the list of those interested in the Resource Group and shared nowhere else.  Our plan is to connect again prior to the summer so send your information to Christyn by end of day Monday, May 22.

Thank you,
Christyn Abaray, Linda Morgan-Clemente, Carla Daughtry
