Focus on Bias: 2.14.19

The Office of Student Financial Aid distributes a weekly email focused on Implicit Bias with some videos to watch, articles to read, and other events around campus and the community that we encourage you to attend if your schedule allows. Video of the Week: Understanding White Privilege by Carl Williams – https://videos.myacpa.org/understanding-white-privilege. The video takes about thirty-five minutes to watch or you could certainly just listen to it if you prefer podcasts to videos.. Carl Williams not only speaks about white privilege but about its impact in higher education.
