Hello lovely AOWG people,

We wanted to extend an invitation to a Student Facilitator Training this Friday, 3/26 from 2:00pm-5:00pm with the Intercultural Center at UMB. The Intercultural Center leads a variety of services and trainings to strengthen understanding of anti-oppression, anti-racism, diversity, equity and justice in the application of professional practice. This training will help us to lead events on anti-oppression and DEI practice and connect with the greater UMB community.

We know it is a busy time, but you are welcome to join for the training. Below is the Zoom link. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, and look out for more information on events from us soon.
