This workshop provides a review of real-life, relatable examples and incorporates activities for students to practice intervention skills and techniques. In this workshop, students will learn about: the importance and power of bystander intervention, the bias response and education resources on campus, and how to report bias-related incidents they experience, witness, or hear about on or around campus.

In this workshop, we discuss the differing levels of racial bias in our society, how racial bias can manifest, and how to disrupt racial bias on and off campus.
