Leave this session with a resource guide filled with definitions and self-study tools. When you actively participate in the life and people of our organization you are being a part of the change. We are looking forward to igniting inclusion and action with you. Brought to you by our L1 Diversity and Inclusion Working Group. Jam sessions will be planned every 3 months so we can continue to audit and co-create the plan. Upcoming dates will be announced soon for May and July (student session).
