The SEBS Office of Global Engagement hosted the Anti-Racism Seminar: Asian Students’ Experiences on Tuesday, October 20, 2020, 10:00-11:00 am (EST) via Zoom. This seminar was open to all Rutgers students, faculty, and staff.
The United States is facing a racial reckoning. It is extremely important to discuss anti-blackness within the context of the current climate and pandemic. At the same time, we do not want to dismiss other experiences that are also connected to this time and space. Please join this crucial conversation to make our community more inclusive and welcoming.
