Lineberger DEI Townhall Follow up sessions

The UNC Lineberger Equity Council is pleased to announce a two-part series in response to the comments and suggestions heard during our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Town Hall in October 2020.

This series will take place over the next three months and will be facilitated by Deborah Stroman, PhD, CLU, a diversity, equity and inclusion expert. The series will help expand our understanding and foster dialogue about the challenges and opportunities we face as we seek to promote diversity, equity and inclusion at UNC Lineberger and the N.C. Cancer Hospital.

The Leveling Session offers an analysis and historical context to structural racism in the United States and the healthcare industry. This session is designed to spark curiosity, foster dialogue, and present a clear understanding of the individual and organizational challenges of racial healing and collaborative decision-making. In addition, the importance of language and communication will be addressed to foster understanding and belonging in an organization.

All those affiliated with UNC Lineberger and the NC Cancer Hospital are invited to attend this 90-minute session.

The first session will be held on December 18, 2020 from 2:30 – 4 p.m. Please register at blue link below.
