Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho started an online series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” as an educational tool at a time when the racial divide between white and black Americans is at a peak. In this episode, Chip & Joanne Gaines sit down with Emmanuel Acho to have an uncomfortable conversation about teaching their kids to "see color" and Acho is asked, "if he's afraid of white people."

Wonder how the Sinclair staff and faculty you don’t see on Zoom are doing? Feel a bit embarrassed that you never really did catch the name of that person you smiled at in the hallway every morning? Meet old friends and new people during Sinclair LINC : Listen, Intersect, Network and Connect. A one-hour zoom session where employees will be paired with another employee for a 10-minute conversation, and then we switch pairs. Depending on the number of participants, we expect 3 – 5 pairings during the one-hour session. Don’t miss it!

I would like to offer a completely optional opportunity for you to come to a “Fireside Chat” with me this week to swap stories and see how I can be helpful to you.  This will have the spirit of the Coffee with the Provost gatherings, although there will be no kickoff presentations, and it will be virtual. My plan is simply to chat, see how things are going, and give us all a chance to spend time with our campus community.

This year's theme is Mind the Gap: Equity in a Time of COVID. More details will be coming in the next few weeks when the event's program is finalized and registration is opened.

3:00 - 4:00 PM

In this one hour session, you are invited to be guided by certified Yoga and meditation teacher, Prof. Amanda Hayden, through a traditional Yogic Deep Relaxation (Nidra). This session utilizes sound meditation, guided breathwork, full body relaxation, pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) and mindful observation of breath, body and mind.

Unlike previous relaxation sessions where this deep Nidra has typically only occupied 15-20 minutes of the session, with our current circumstances, we will be going all in, using the whole of the hour to fully surrender into deep relaxation in order to maximize the benefits for stress reduction.

10:00 - 11:00 AM

PRE-REQUISITES:   Please read the The Atlantic article: https://sinclair.edu/www/assets/File/Hom-StuLif-DivCam/The%20False%20Promise%20of%20Anti-Racism%20Books.pdf

Texts that seek to raise the collective American consciousness are rendered futile without concrete systemic changes. In today’s cultural moment—during which hundreds of mainstream institutions in the U.S. are acknowledging systemic racism—books and other content about race and discrimination have surged in popularity.
