To encourage conversation, allyship and action, Loyola is proud to present a virtual speaker series on topics related to equity and inclusion that our students and staff have identified as areas they would like to learn more about. Join us on YouTube live the first Wednesday of each month for learning, unlearning, conversation and reflection. Each session will feature a one hour presentation and the opportunity for students to ask questions and engage with our speaker. The Q&A portion of the sessions will be moderated by Loyola students using questions submitted in the chat feature of YouTube live. The YouTube live link will be posted on our Loyola website and at @LoyolaHawksOak on Twitter and Instagram closer to the presentation date.
