In recent weeks we have all been reminded of the deep tensions and conflicts that exist in American society. Many of us move through our daily routines experiencing the impacts on our personal and professional lives. And yet, we are charged to keep our students at the center; how does it impact their living and learning lives? How does this work impact our lives? And what do we need to sustain ourselves as academic professionals?

This series of conversations is intended to ask the question: what would it look like to support one another in substantive, meaningful ways in keeping with our college mission? As President Collado reminded us in her message of solidarity after Charlottesville, our “foundational principles include creating an inclusive and equitable environment in which students, faculty, and staff from all walks of life can thrive and grow.”

Drs. Sean Eversley Bradwell and Wade Pickren invite you to join them in a discussion series, Conversations after Charlottesville, to share our different perspectives, learn from each other, and together affirm our commitment to IC’s foundational principles.

Participants who wish to continue this conversation are invited to join us in our reading/learning community based on the book, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? by Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum. The CFE will provide the book to each participant.

All Faculty and Staff Cordially Invited, RSVP’s requested (at links above)
