The Committee on Institutional Equity and Diversity (CIED) invites you to a powerful conversation with nationally renowned speaker, educator, and activist Loretta Ross.
Topic: Calling In: Navigating Challenging Conversations and Cultivating Compassionate Connections
In today’s climate, where conversations can quickly become polarized, how do we move from conflict to connection?
Join Loretta Ross as she introduces the transformative practice of “calling in” - a compassionate and effective alternative to cancel culture that centers empathy, accountability, and meaningful dialogue. Through compelling storytelling and real-world examples, this session will equip you with practical tools to:
• Navigate difficult conversations with confidence
• Build understanding across differences
• Foster inclusive, respectful, and resilient communities
