Humanity First: Self-Accountability & Community Action

Date: Wednesday, July 15

Time: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.

Recent weeks have seen many companies, celebrities and everyday citizens confronting their prejudices and blind spots regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. Whether conscious or not, many of us have biases we do not confront.

To participate, please register by signing up at emporia.edu/live. You will receive the Zoom link in your email about an hour before the event.
