Loyola to host anti-racism webinar series

Loyola to host anti-racism webinar series

This summer Loyola University Maryland will host “Voices on Equity: A Lunchtime Series with Loyola,” a series of webinars discussing topics around race, anti-racism, and living out a deeper commitment to Baltimore.

“Our Catholic, Jesuit tradition calls us to be contemplatives in action,” said Cheryl Moore-Thomas, Ph.D., chief equity and inclusion officer. “The Voices on Equity: A Lunchtime Series with Loyola offers an opportunity for us to hear from experts across our campus as we reflect and commit to the work we must do in the aim of anti-racism. This summer series is an important step in Loyola’s continuing commitment to action, offering practical approaches that help us lean into our mission more fully. This series is a part of a cohesive and inclusive plan to condemn racism at Loyola and beyond.”

The scheduled webinars are:
