The Role of the Land-Grant University in Addressing Racial Tensions

Monday, June 15, 2020
3:00 - 4:30 p.m.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion invites you to a conversation about racism, social disparities, and prospects for change. Join university leaders in thinking about how Ohio State can be an intellectual and practical resource to Columbus and Ohioans in responding to recent events and reshaping the future.

Hosted by Dr. Andreá Williams, the interim director of The Women's Place, this panel considers how what we teach, learn and do at Ohio State can make a difference in challenging inequities and discrimination. Panelists also will address the kinds of initiatives that already exist at Ohio State and through community partnerships to lead to meaningful change.

• Trevor Brown, Dean, John Glenn College of Public Affairs

• Johanna Burton, Director, Wexner Center for the Arts
