Hi All,


Spring is here and summer break is just around the corner. I am amazed at how many DEI learning opportunities there are this month. I wanted to draw your attention to three conferences happening on campus, one hosted by our very own Center on Race and Social Problems; the Language Justice Conference, the Race + IP '23: "The Imperial Scholar" Revisited, and the Representations of Afrolatinidad Conference. All are hosting a slate of exceptional speakers and are free and open to all. I encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities. If I don’t see you have a wonderful summer!


Take good care,


Jaime
