As an alliance member college of the USC Liberal Arts Colleges Racial Equity Leadership Alliance (LACRELA), 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú faculty and staff have access to an eight-session, virtual professional learning series focused on practical approaches to advancing and sustaining racial equity on liberal arts college campuses. Our membership in LACRELA provides these sessions at no cost to all faculty, staff, and administrators.
No-cost registration is required for each session.
There will be two debriefs this semester for anyone who attended at least one session to discuss learning and be in community with others interested in advancing racial equity on campus. The first debrief will cover the topics discussed in the January sessions, and the second debrief will cover the February sessions.
Recordings of all sessions will be provided to 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú faculty and staff at the end of the series in March.
