On Wednesday, October 7, 1:00PM - 3:15PM EST, APPAM hosted a virtual event entitled Racial Justice and Graduate Education: What Are You Doing and What Could You Do?
Recent events have placed racial inequality at the forefront for all academic institutions. We wanted to offer a place for APPAM institutional representatives to discuss what inequality initiatives they have implemented in their own schools, hear from students about what they would like to see happen in their programs and, most importantly, we wanted to give an opportunity for program directors and faculty to network, discuss their experiences and get some good ideas for the future.
