Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Higher Education during the Era of Racial Reckoning
10/25/21 from 7:30-8:30 pm ET
Patricia Morency, LCSW, M.Ed. will be facilitating an informal yet frank and interactive conversation on the growth edges higher education has in terms of what constitutes authentic and consistent DEI work, as well as how to navigate interdisciplinary practice when our social work values do not necessarily align with the interests of a college/university.
