Student and faculty panelists will talk about ways they work against racism in their classrooms and in our campus community. Students, staff, and other community members are invited to offer their impressions and ideas about what works well and doesn’t in these often difficult conversations. Together, we will work on ways to make SUNY New Paltz a place where more members feel seen, heard, and able to participate fully in the life of the institution.
