Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation

全国各地, people are horrified by the recent taking of three more Black lives: Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. President Zak’s message on May 29, 2020, 呼应了这种愤怒, not just about these killings but also about all the other Black lives lost while in police custody.

This page is dedicated to all those who have lost their lives. This page is a call to action.

为了解决, 修复, and eliminate the systems that enable acts of racial prejudice, 我们都必须采取行动. In winter 2019, 正规博彩十大网站排名学院 was selected by the Association of American Colleges & 大学(AAC格式&U) as one of 24 universities to host Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) campus centers across the United States in a national effort to eradicate racial hierarchies and eliminate social inequities.

作为THRT的校园, the college partners with local and community groups as well as the campus community in projects that advance transformational racial change, promote racial healing and erase structural barriers to equity and equal opportunity. The taking of more Black lives and the resulting national outrage have lent a new sense of urgency to this work. Thus, we recommit ourselves to ensuring that our policies and actions align with our values. We recommit to leaving no one behind.

Get connected and lead in the fight against racism!
