CREDE and other partners host facilitated discussions on race and racism in our communities for faculty and staff.
The Center for Race, Ethnicity, & Diversity Education (CREDE), the Office of Inclusive Excellence Education and Development, and the Office of Leadership and Professional Development (OLPD) are partnering for the 2023 Summer Race Reflection and Discussion Series during the month of June.聽There are several local and national events which make talking about race continuously difficult, yet still necessary.
