Act: Share Your Voice for Healing and Growing
As a part of our strategic plan to design and implement an anti-racism educational curriculum, the Actionable Education Initiative (AEI) subcommittee on anti-racism is asking the SOM community to share a story or experience influenced by difference. Submissions can include stories of microaggressions, discrimination, harm, threat of harm, processing, healing or allyship. The de-identified stories will inform educational interventions and policies to help eradicate bias and injustice within our institution. Please note, if you do not wish to officially report any harm at this time, please keep your submissions free of identifying information, as our team members are mandatory reporters.
