But the unique personal journey of her rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG explores Ginsburg's life and career.

This dialogue provides the opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to discuss, share experiences, and ask questions about race.

Given the immense amount of diversity on the UConn campus, it is important to engage in meaningful dialogues about race and racism. It is up to college campuses to respond to, engage, and reflect the diversity of their students.

This workshop provides the opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to discuss, share experiences, and ask questions about race on campus. This session focuses on the barriers of creating a more diverse and accepting university as well as discussing concrete steps that we might take as a community, as an institution, and as individuals to combat racism and build a more diverse and inclusive campus environment.

Thriving @ work!Empirical research finds a direct connection between incivility and gender harassment (Lim & Cortina, 2005) which according to NASEM’s 2018 Sexual Harassment of Women Climate, Culture, and Consequences in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Report, is increasingly the most common form of sexual harassment in academia.

This session will include an overview of risk factors for discriminatory harassment in the workplace (with a focus on sexual and gender-based harassment) and offer strategies to reduce harassment. Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on the nature of their own workplace behaviors and identify opportunities to positively influence culture across all levels of leadership.
