These speakers will explore what children may be processing about their social and emotional lives and identities, equip us with the language we may need to better understand the complexity of our children’s lived experiences, and discuss ways we can better support them.
We are excited to have parents, faculty, staff, alumni, alumni parents, and grandparents join us for these
Community Engagement and Education events. Please watch your inbox for event invitations.
