We welcome you to join Cherita Ellens, Women Employed's President and CEO, for a conversation with Chicago State University, Zaldwaynaka (Z) Scott, Esq. as they discuss the recently-released "Equity Working Group for Black Student Access and Success in Illinois Higher Education" Action Plan. You’ll hear about the group of multi-sector stakeholders (including higher ed leaders, business, advocates, and policymakers) came together to knock down barriers and address policies deeply rooted in racism that impact Black students in Illinois higher education.
