As part of our Juneteenth Speaker Series, join Graduate Council and International House for a fireside chat with Valerie Jarrett on incorporating diversity and inclusion within the work and leaning space. The event will take the form of a student-moderated conversation to highlight the importance of dismantling structural and cultural barriers that exist in the workspace to truly create an equitable environment. All registered attendees are welcomed to attend a post-discussion reception. Refreshments will be provided.
Event format:

Please note that the main entrance to International House is currently for residents only. Attendees should use the door on South Dorchester Ave to enter.
This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convenings may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures. This is a mask-optional convening. We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring to wear masks to do so.
