The LLC Program is honoring the legacy of the late Dr. Cedric Herring, former director and professor of the program, by sponsoring an annual symposium in his name.
This symposium will offer a space for dialogue about the ways university and community scholars are continuing to address issues connected to the history of critical diversity, inclusion, racial wealth disparities, and social stratification in research and practice. This all-day 11am-7pm symposium will include students, faculty, administrators and corporate professionals panels discussing their career paths, mentorship, and recommendations for success. We will conclude the night with a keynote address by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times Best Seller, How to be an Antiracist, followed by a book signing and reception.
