Hi All,
There are a lot of exciting and important DEI learning opportunities happening in our school, across the University, and in Pittsburgh this month. I really appreciate the folks who have sent me things that should be on our radar.
To keep everyone informed of the DEI-related learning opportunities this September and moving forward (and minimize e-mails), we will send out a list of events happening within the month on the First Tuesday of each month. I will keep a running list but feel free to send things you are hosting and/or are happening in your networks to be included. Please send info about the event, talk, etc. to me before the last Friday of the month before the event so that we can be sure to include it. These lists will include events open to students, faculty, and staff.
See below for some opportunities happening in September.
