Registration open for next Social Justice Institute

Northwest Missouri State University faculty and staff as well as Maryville business and community leaders are invited to participate in the next cohort of the Social Justice Institute.

Social Justice Institute I focuses on implicit bias, and Social Justice Institute II will continue the discussion into institutional bias and civility.

The Social Justice Institute is open to all University faculty and staff as well as community leaders. The program is sponsored by Northwest’s offices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Human Resources.

Registration is free, but space is limited. Register online at www.nwmissouri.edu/diversity/rsvp/socialjustice.htm by Monday, Jan. 29. 

Pre-readings are suggested, and registrants will receive an instructional packet or link to an online implicit bias assessment.

For more information, contact Dr. Justin Mallett, director of diversity and inclusion, at jmallett@nwmissouri.edu or Dr. Juanita Simmons, vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion, at 660.563.1557.
