IMPACT Academy Workshop - "Allyship: A Title Bestowed"
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

In this 90-minute workshop, co-facilitators Timothy Lewis and Liz Stygar will unpack true allyship and why allied actions are important in creating an inclusive campus. This is a Training Session, not a webinar; participation is capped at 40, and attendees are expected to be fully engaged with cameras on. Register here!
