2:00-4:00 pm: De-escalation Training Workshop led by Kelly Lemaire, M.S. - 2 RCR credits!
The theme of WiSE programming this year has been around the importance of being allies to colleagues or peers in need. This will culminate in a hands-on de-escalation workshop to provide participants with some tools for dealing with both explicit and implicit biases that they may witness in or outside of the workplace. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of when to step in in various instances, as well as ways to de-escalate high-tension to microaggression scenarios. Register for the de-escalation workshop!
4:00-5:00 pm: Student Poster Session and Happy Hour
