Focus on Bias: 02.2020
The Office of Student Financial Aid distributes a monthly 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.
March is Women’s History Month.
Videos of the Month: She Inspires Series from PBS – https://www.pbs.org/show/she-inspires/episodes/ and https://www.pbs.org/show/she-inspires/episodes/season/2017/. Each video is about one minute long and tells you about an amazing woman from history.
