Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT)
Thursday, January 18, 2024
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Allendale Campus
Faculty, Staff
As part of the 2024 National Day of Racial Healing (January 16), the Inclusion and Equity Institute at GVSU invites interested faculty and staff to join its second cohort of TRHT participants. Through TRHT, participants build relationships, trust, and collective power. Those relationships lay the groundwork for powerful systemic change, supporting participants to re-envision and reshape their institution's policies and practices.
Space in this cohort is limited to 30 participants. There is no fee to participate and copies of Rx Racial Healing will be provided to all who register, in advance of the first session. Meetings will take place on the Allendale Campus on the following dates/times:
- Thursday, January 18th from 3-5PM
- Wednesday, February 28th from 3-5PM
- Wednesday, March 27th from 3-5PM
We hope you will join us! Participants in the 2023 cohort universally described the experience as energizing, transformative, and a constructive avenue toward building sustainable change.
Learning Outcomes - Participants will be able to:
- Read and discuss Dr. Gail C. Christopher's Rx Racial Healing: A Guide to Embracing Our Humanity, which outlines the TRHT process
- Participate in a series of conversations that are designed to bring people together in safe spaces to build authentic relationships grounded in appreciation, respect, and trust that extend across and within racial groups
- Identity specific action steps that participants can take to heal racial divides and transform Grand Valley into a less segregated, more equitable, diverse, and inclusive institution
Presenters:
- Takeelia Garrett (She/Her/Hers) Student Ombuds, Division of Student Affair
