White Privilege Workshop

Often time within the White culture, people avoid the topic of racism. Many White people interested in learning more about race, privilege and social justice have difficulties finding safe spaces for such conversations.

  • Are you racist?
  • Does racism only affect people of color?
  • How can you confront racism in your community?

These workshops provide an opportunity for White people to talk honestly about racism in the company of other White people.

Join us at our workshop scheduled from 10am – 5pm in Stotler Lounge, Memorial Union. Check-in begins at 9:45am. Brunch and lunch provided.

Participants must attend the entire session. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will receive certificates of recognition.

Topics for discussion include:

  • Understanding White Privilege
  • Raising Awareness about Racism
  • Coping with White Guilt
  • Breaking the Silence of Racism
  • Confronting Racism within the White Community
  • Building the Courage to Engage in Cross-Racial Dialogues
  • Becoming an Ally
  • Creating a Network of Support within the White Community
