Who Should Attend
"First, let me say that the program was amazing on every level (the facilitators, the panelists, and us, the students)! The information provided, the open and honest dialogues had, the thought provoking questions asked, prepares you, the individual to intentionally and bravely engage in the work of confronting racism."
