This session is designed for participants to engage in reflection, activities, and discussion to increase knowledge and understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Primary focus will be on awareness of biases and how these biases impact everyday interactions people have with one another.

Participants will:

• define terms that are often mis-used when communicating about racial injustice
• engage in discussion and activities on how implicit bias impacts us as individuals
• understand that intent and impact are not the same and may have different results
