“Addressing Bias in the Workplace”

Date: Monday, Feb. 19th

Time: 4-5PM EST

Location:  Chittenden Hall, Lounge (Downstairs) – 466 W. Circle Dr.   OR    Virtually, via Zoom

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you saw or heard something that frustrated you because you knew it wasn’t right, but you didn’t know what to say? It could be someone making an offensive statement or being dismissive of an issue that you care deeply about. It is hard to know what to say or do i n the moment, but if you take some time beforehand to think through your options, you are more likely to be prepared when those moments come. In this workshop, we will discuss strategies to help you decide when and how to respond to difficult situations in professional settings. Please register to attend.
