<p class="MsoNormal">Dear BFASA, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Leaders of Excellence and Distinction (LEAD) are hosting a Staff DEI panel next month. If you have the time to attend, please do; it would be a great opportunity to see how folx around campus are handling DEI issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Event Date: September 6,2022<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Event time: 11:30-1pm<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Event Summary: The conversation around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion issues is ongoing and varied. It can be easy to focus on one particular group at a time, especially when it is all over the news. But in reality, all of the underrepresented
minority groups face discrimination every day, sometimes suffering in silence as a colleague makes a comment or a joke is passed around.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The hope behind this panel is to bring awareness of what is happening on our own campus with our co-workers, to understand that many of the staff on campus fit into multiple URM groups and face discrimination from several sources, and to
build our resolve as a campus to stand up for others when we see and hear actions and comments that aren't appropriate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
