Four Anti-racism/Whiteness Trainings
Co-sponsored by Staff Association and People & Workplace Culture

Facilitated by Dr. David Derezotes  


A series of four anti-racism workshops will be offered to those members of the SLCC community who identify as White. The intention of these workshops to co-create a brave space where participants do the often hard work of examining our own racism and White privilege and committing to anti-racist actions. We begin our work with the awareness that we are all living in a racist culture and participate, often unconsciously, in racist actions. A limit of 30 participants will be enrolled, and participants will be asked to commit to attending all four workshops. All workshops will be conducted over zoom once a month, in January, February, March & April 2021. Each workshop will be 90 minutes long, and will have a check in, a short didactic segment related to the literature, an experiential learning segment, and a check out. 

 

Workshop Spring dates: January 13, 2021; February 10, 2021; March 10, 2021 and April 7, 2021

 

Dr. David Derezotes (Dr. Dave) is Professor, University of Utah, Chair of Mental Health, College of Social Work, Director of Peace & Conflict Studies, College of Humanities, Fellow, Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence, Facilitator for President Watkin's Anti-Racism Task Force, Chair of Senate Advisory Committee on Diversity SACD, and MUSE Professor, Undergraduate Studies.He has been facilitating dialogues on campus and in the local and regional communities for over 30 years.

We’ll explore breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as best practices for mindful communication and well-being. Each session will include a very brief introduction to the weekly topic, a guided meditation and then a short group reflection.

No prior experience or registration required. Just join when you can. If you’d like to receive weekly web-ex reminders, please send your email and your department name to Andrea (andrea.malouf@slcc.edu) or Heidi (heidi.o’donoghue@slcc.edu). Or just email with questions.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand. To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
