The UAA/APU Books of the Year program and UAA’s Chief Diversity Officer invite you

(for faculty and staff) with Rae Ratliff, Camp Fire Alaska.

Join us for one or both! Zoom information provided with registration.

I Get It, Now What? Steps You Can Take to Help Create an Equitable Workplace and WorldTuesday, Feb. 22, 10-11:30 a.m. Register here

Starting with the foundational agreement that systemic bias is an everyone, every
day, institutionalized problem, this workshop will explore what it means as individuals
to contribute to a solution – day to day, minute by minute, situation by situation.
Through broadening the definition of woke, you will leave this workshop with tangible
and individualized big and small actions, thought processes, and mindsets which will
enable you to be part of progress toward a diverse, inclusive, equitable, accessible,
positive, productive, and impactful workplace and society for everyone.   

I Get It, My Boss Gets It, Now What? Tools and Strategies for Addressing Systemic
Bias within OrganizationsTuesday, March 1, 2:30-3:45 p.m.Register here

This presentation will review the initial work that Camp Fire Alaska has completed
along the journey towards ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusivity in our work.
Though we will focus on the past 5 years, historical highlights and learning moments
will also be presented. Attendees will leave with recommended strategies and tools
for addressing systemic bias within organizations of all shapes and sizes.

For information or questions, contact Libby Roderick at eroderick@alaska.edu.
