By Elbony Hawkins, DEI Committee Co-Chair  

Kia Hagens (MEA) facilitated an excellent discussion and training session on January 19, 2021. The session “Anti-Bias Training: Moving Dr. King’s message forward in 2020 platform” was engaging, educational and enlightening. The event was well attended, and the audience consisted of good representation of individuals from all different areas of MSU, faculty, students, and staff. Feedback from those that attended expressed that the event and presenter was fantastic. The session emphasized current issues in the nation such as diversity, difference of social statuses, and economical factors. This training provided the resources and tools to explore the many differences and work to be more inclusive in our local associations, work sites and while working with students and colleagues.
