Appreciation or appropriation? Advancing equity and inclusion webinar

Are you working on your allyship and understanding of the advancement of equity and inclusion? It takes more than reposting articles and hashtags or wearing a t-shirt to create real change – for many it requires a cultural shift of understanding. It also takes a collective effort. Join the Illinois State University Alumni Association as we explore together how we can elevate versus appropriate cultural differences.

Led by Rachel (Clark) Gregoire ’09, co-founder of Fam Foolery, we will dispel myths of cultural inferiority and its historical origins, address cultural appropriation in a society that borrows from all underrepresented groups and introduce practical and effective methods for habitually contributing to the advancement of anti-racist work.

This is a free event for all Redbirds! Register by Friday, January 22 online to receive the Zoom link for the virtual event. Space is limited so early registration is encouraged to reserve a spot.
