Diversity and Belonging in the Student Experience Virtual Town Hall
Event Details
How do I find community in a COVID-19 environment? How will the university be addressing racial equity and diversity in the wake of protests and calls for action this year? Where do I go for support? UW–Madison students, parents, and families are invited to join Student Affairs and the Division of Diversity, Equity and Educational Achievement for a virtual town hall to discuss these questions and yours about diversity and belonging in the student experience.
