Friday Feels: Election Edition
|
|
It's a few days after the election and many of us are feeling a whole range of emotions. Space is needed for us social justice educators to breathe and support each other, as well as find the energy to support our respective staff, student, and campus communities. CSJE and the member development working group invites you to share space with others who do this work. There's no agenda, just an avenue to be present. Join us on Friday, November 6th at 3pm Eastern. Feel free to invite any colleagues into this space.
The Zoom link for the meeting is here:

Please join us for our next CSJE Monthly Forum! Our monthly forums are a chance to dialogue with other student affairs and higher education professionals interested in social justice work. We always start out with a facilitator's choice discussion topic followed by a conversation about opportunities to get involved with the Commission and updates on current projects! This month, we will focus our conversation on what is needed to succeed in facilitating and developing a monthly forum. Join us on Tuesday, November 10th at 3pm Eastern/2pm Central.
