Live virtual summit to begin Monday

Eric Wirth

A two-week series on racism on college campuses is coming to Iowa State.

The first part of the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching’s (CELT) four-part virtual summit will take place Monday.

Researchers from CELT have compiled data from racial climate studies they have administered to those of color from numerous colleges across the nation that are composed of mostly white students, faculty and staff.

The series will focus on how racism, no matter how small, have affected the lives of those of color on college campuses.

The series is broken out into four modules that will span the next two weeks at Iowa State.

Module one: How People of Color Experience Racism on Campus, will begin at 3 p.m. in 1115 Pearson Hall. 

The remaining three modules will take place at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14 and 16 in 1115 Pearson Hall except for the final module, which will take place at 3 p.m. in 0152 Science.

While registration for the event is not required, capacity is limited to 90 people. 

People who are interested in registering can email [email protected] and include their name, department, position, name of the event and date of the event in the email.
