OIB Rescheduled National Day of Racial Healing at GCSU

The Office of Inclusion & Belonging will commemorate the annual observance of the National Day of Racial Healing on Wednesday, Jan. 29. NDORH is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched in 2017 by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, it is an opportunity to bring all people together and inspire collective action to build common ground for a more just and equitable world. 

The Office of Inclusion & Belonging invites the Georgia College & State University community to commemorate this day by participating in various activities.
