Upstander training

May 23, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Our event photos will be posted shortly.


This event will be held in GMB 3007 and over Zoom.

Just a kind reminder of our upcoming DEI training session, “Becoming an Upstander”, scheduled for tomorrow from 11am to noon.
The training will primarily be conducted via Zoom (link attached below). However, for those who prefer an in-person experience or simply want to engage in follow-up discussion, we will also be gathering in room GMB 3007 and we will provide coffee and cookies as well.
For our training session, we are privileged to have Dr. Ashalla Freeman from BBSP as the facilitator. With her wealth of knowledge and experience in this field, we can expect a stimulating and enlightening session. Please kindly find Ashalla’s bio as follows,
