Please mark your calendars and join us for the 17th annual Mary Frances Early College of Education Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Conference. The theme is “The Time is Now: Moving from Awareness to Action.”

Benjamin Reese, a clinical psychologist and president of BenReese, LLC., will deliver the keynote address and provide historical context to generate an understanding of the impact of racism on present-day social justice issues. Additionally, he will emphasize how implicit bias impedes our ability to make meaningful change. Reese will offer solutions for creating more equitable K-12 and higher education environments.

Following Reese’s keynote address, there will be breakout sessions focused on the conference theme and a conversation with Athens community leaders.

This event is free and open to UGA students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. Registration information will be available soon.
