The training provides a unique opportunity to glimpse into the lives of our undocumented students and students with mixed-status families.

The session includes activities to better understand the needs of this population and tools to become allies for undocumented students and students with mixed-status families.

Equity Ally
The Equity Ally Training provides participants with a practical framework for understanding and deconstructing systemic racial inequities. This training equips participants with the skills needed to engage in positive dialogue to continue with the discussion of this important topic in a productive manner.

This training will use Cracking the Codes: The System of Racial Inequity, the most-watched World Trust film. This film examines racial inequity through a systems/structures lens using the loop diagram. Every aspect of the diagram is illuminated and explicated by the stories of dozens of women and men of all races, each of whom uses a common language to describe and analyze inequity from individual and collective perspectives as well as through the lens of external relationships. Participants will break into dyads or triads at different points in the film to discuss their responses, what makes them uncomfortable, what makes them curious, etc.
