Past Participant Feedback

"The RJTP sessions provided a space where I could be vulnerable about things I was ignorant of or nervous about, and about things that I felt I particularly needed to work on. At the same time, I learned a lot from the other professionals in my cohort. By the end of the program, I gained a variety of insights, resources, and strategies that I can use to continue to improve my understanding of and work in racial justice, both in my professional and personal life." 

"The RJTP program provided a supportive community that challenged me to reevaluate my work in racial justice, meet others across campus who also engage in this work, and find points of collaboration to make change. I have deepened my understanding of how my racial biases show up, how to engage with individuals in conversations around racial justice that can be productive, and create a space for learning and growth."

"I am so appreciative of this training program. I grew not only as a University adviser, but as an individual as well. I was able to learn from both the facilitators and the shared experiences and perspectives of my cohort as well. I am leaving the program much more confident in continuing to do my part in racial justice work within and outside of the University."

"Participating in the RJTP cohort has provided a deeply engaging and cross-unit forum for me to develop my ability to recognize, identify and discuss racial equity concepts as they apply to my advising role. I would highly recommend this program for anyone looking to build community around concepts and topics of racial equity in higher education."
