Students, employees, and community members are invited to a panel discussion on Critical Race Theory featuring RVC staff, faculty, and community leaders. The panel will address systemic racism, Critical Race Theory, and who’s learning Critical Race Theory.

Panelists include:

• Dr. Tiffany Brunson, Rockford Public Schools Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer
• Dr. Ken Coleman, RVC Dean of Advising and Retention

After the panel discussion, attendees will be invited to take a pledge against racism.

Stand Against Racism takes place annually in April and is a signature campaign of YWCA USA to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities and to build community among those who work for racial justice. RVC PAIC partners with YWCA each year to host a Stand Against Racism event for the RVC and Rockford community.
