April 6: Articulating and Actualizing Stated Commitments to Diversity, Race Equity, Inclusion, and Racial Justice
11 a.m.-1 p.m., In-person meeting location will be provided after you RSVP
It has been nearly three years since the murder of Mr. George Floyd intensified long-standing calls to action for race equity and racial justice. While the calls continue and action persists, mainstream attention and commitments to change have waned, emboldened by white supremacist autocracy. By participating in this workshop, you will: unpack the "to form a more perfect union" ideal vis-á-vis the contention, put forth by critical legal scholars, that racism is permanent; explore the concept of critical hope; and discuss how situated contexts, positionalities, and standpoints impact personal engagement in change work and can be strategically leveraged to bring about structural change.

Life doesn’t stop when the economy takes a downward spiral, inflation rises at a record pace, or when a recession becomes a reality. These are just bumps in the road when you are in school or the workforce, but are you preparing yourself financially to overcome these obstacles when you are retired? By participating in this workshop, you will: identify common financial mistakes that can affect both your short- and long-term goals, discover the benefits of tax-free retirement growth, and discuss the Rule of 72.
