A Call to Action
We are outraged by the longstanding history of racism and hatred that permeates America and that has been amplified by the recent murders of George Floyd, Armaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. We cannot sit on the sidelines - we have a shared responsibility to act.
We must join the voices of those who are being impacted by institutional and structural racism and continue to give support until justice is delivered.
We have two very specific asks of our community:
1. We are asking for a few people to step forward to co-lead and facilitate a conversation with our community about race in America.
2. Join us to co-lead and facilitate the design and creation of a robust curriculum thread for the Fellowship regarding racism, diversity, equity and inclusion.

Rob Kramer offers some tactics for leading your team, department, school or university through this trying time.
Harvard Business Review, May 13, 2020:
As an executive coach who works with women leaders, it's not unusual for me to see the sad, worried eyes of my coaching clients as the "aha" moment hits, and they realize: "I have burnout."
Inside Higher Ed, May 21, 2020:
The American Association of University Women, or AAUW, is calling on policy makers to provide more emergency aid to college students, cancel up to $10,000 of loan debt and close the gender pay gap. The demand is in response to the increased economic uncertainty that women college graduates are now facing due to the coronavirus pandemic, the organization announced Thursday.
Journal of Women's Health, Published Ahead-of-Print, May 21, 2020:
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, May 22, 2020:
It's time - right now - for better communication from administrators about the pandemic fallout on campuses at this very moment, for the summer, and in preparation for the fall.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, May 27, 2020:
Here are the steps that professors say colleges must take to ensure gender equity.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, May 28, 2020:
For college leaders in the midst of a pandemic, there's no such thing as too much transparency.
AAMC News, May 28, 2020:
The current pandemic makes clear how much we need to attract, retain, and advance all talented physicians and researchers. The AAMC's new State of Women in Academic Medicine report highlights key advances - and the challenges that remain. The AAMC will host a webinar to discuss key findings from the report on June 25.
Inside Higher Ed, June 1, 2020:
College leaders seeking to survive and thrive in a post-pandemic environment have no choice but to reassess and redefine their value proposition, argue Scott Latham and Michael Braun.
STAT, June 2, 2020:
This is my nightmare: Covid-19 meets racism meets the killing of yet another Black person by a police officer.
Some weeks back, in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, I had a discussion about worst-case scenarios with a colleague in emergency management. Top of mind for him as we head into hurricane season was the fear of a natural disaster in the midst of this pandemic.
My biggest fear as a Black woman and public health leader was the all-too-likely murder of an unarmed Black person at the hands of police leading to mass protests amid the virulence of two infectious diseases: racism and Covid-19.
