PwC invites you to join them to have a meaningful dialogue about being color brave on Wednesday, March 8 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.
What does it mean to be color brave? It means having candid conversations about race that can help us better understand each other’s perspectives and experiences so that we can make better decisions and secure better prospects for future generations. Learning about others’ experiences and perspectives is at the heart of our ability to build trusting relationships. It helps increase our cultural dexterity so we can better work across differences and support each other’s success. Acknowledging and discussing race is a first step to developing and sustaining an inclusive culture.
The Color Brave campus dialogues aim to educate and empower students, faculty, and university administration to have a purposeful discussion and address the issue of racial inequities that exist in America today. By being “color brave,” we can address the uncomfortable issue of race and increase mutual understanding.
Event details:
From 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. we will watch clips from a dialogue that former PwC US Sr. Partner and Chairman, Bob Moritz, had with Mellody Hobson, President of Ariel Investments, about her powerful TED Talk “Color Blind or Color Brave?” We will also engage in dialogue about what we can do as individuals and as a community to increase mutual understanding. From 6:45 - 7:30 p.m., we will have an informal networking event to continue the conversations and further relationships. Refreshments will be provided.
This event is open to ALL students, faculty, and staff.
