Register for the Event

The Staff Assembly Special Committee on Campus Culture invites the UCI community to join the third event in the Conversations for Change: On Improving the Racial Climate at UCI series.

In this 90-minute experiential workshop, we will explore the importance of “calling each other in,” rather than “calling each other out,” and deepen our capacity to have courageous conversations, engage in generative conflict and practice centered accountability. Space is limited to the first 100 registrants.
