The signposts of racism are staring back at us in big, bold racial inequities, but some Americans are ignoring the signposts, walking on by racial inequity, riding on by the evidence, and proclaiming their belief with religious fervor. Join Chief Diversity Officer, Michael Carter, for a discussion on this article.

Concepts such as dress codes and professionalism can raise questions about self-worth, respect, and self-expression. Join Kathleen & Lajmar as we explore together how clothing can enforce hierarchies in the workplace based in class, race, and gender.

Mini University, a high quality childcare and preschool program located on Sinclair's campus, serves children ages 6 weeks through 5 years. All teachers hold degrees in early childhood education, and the classrooms have low teacher-to-child ratios for a more individualized approach. Research-backed methods of learning such as Creative Curriculum and Conscious Discipline are utilized to ensure both academic and social-emotional skills are developed. Sinclair faculty, staff, and students are priority status for enrollment and have access to various funding and discount opportunities. The center is open year-round and has rolling enrollment so families can tour and enroll at any time. The Early Childhood Education (ECE) program at Sinclair provides the knowledge, skills and competencies important to an entry-level teacher working with, or planning to work with, young children. The program includes the academic preparation required by the Ohio Department of Education to meet Pre-Kindergarten Associate Teacher Licensure standards. Graduates may work as pre-kindergarten associate licensed teachers, child care center administrators, infant-toddler teachers, and paraprofessionals in public schools or as school age child care coordinators. Join us for a tour of Mini-University and a discussion of their program presented by Natalie Corral and Nicole Mystic and an introduction to the ECE certification offered by Sinclair by Dr. Swapna Purandare. Join Julie O'Brien for a discussion about the Help Desk and the work that they do to help students, staff and faculty. ZOOM ROOM: https://sinclair.zoom.us/j/89335377832?pwd=RTFWWnQ1cVIvZ2xQYXExRHlkRHhVdz09 Social movements are generally organized efforts of activism that are the result of some type of injustice, mistreatment or abuse. We have seen students walk out of classrooms to demand political action against gun violence. Others have protested and pushed for action against climate change and same-sex marriage. Recently, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as emerged to bring attention to disproportionate numbers of police brutality against people of color, particularly African Americans. In response to BLM, another social movement has surfaced-Blue Lives Matter, which is a pro-policing movement formed in part to counter the efforts of Black Lives Matter. This presentation will provide a general backdrop of the development of both BLM and Blue Lives Matter and focus on how Blue Lives Matter, as pro-policing social movement, utilizes messaging and marketing from their various social media platforms to achieve their movement goals. This possibly creates a larger divide between police and the communities where they are employed as public servants and how that may create a conflict between the collective identity and individual identity for officers. Presenter and details coming soon.
