What's Happening

The DEI Board would like to invite all board members to participate in a DEI Pilot Learning Community as part of phase one of the CECH Common Read initiative. At each meeting, we will discuss several chapters of the book When Getting Along Is Not Enough by Dr. Maureen Walker with reflection questions from the book and outside resources. Meetings will last about an hour.

Please email McKinley Estime if you are interested in being a part of a Learning Community. Please let us know if you need any help getting a book if you have not already done so. We look forward to being a part of this exciting project!

The Anti-Racism Community Space is a safe space devoted to building an inclusive community within CECH dedicated to anti-racism. Each month we’ll learn, engage, and listen to one another alongside experts in the community. This ongoing event is open to all members of the CECH community – students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Please check your email for the monthly invite.

Co-presented by the CECH Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Board and the CECH Library.
