This includes how to identify needs of the intended audience\, build intersectional content\, and evaluate the success of shared initiatives.\nFacilitated by Mike Pratt and Hartley Torrison ‘26.\nMary Lyon Hall – Holman Room \nAffirming Identity in the Workplace\nHow do DEIB themes and best practices factor into everyday life in theworkplace? Participants will better understand how to appropriately affirm colleagues within professional spaces and productively challenge systems of power therein.\nFacilitated by Lyndsey Aguilar and Henley Ballou.\nMary Lyon Hall – Woolley Room \nAuditing Existing Systems for Inclusion Gaps\nHow well do our organizations’ day-to-day operations reflect our ideals for inclusion? Participants will be invited to consider the “small stuff” from client intake forms and communications with students and their families\, to employee orientation\, training materials and more. Where can small changes in language or policy have a big impact on the welcome message you convey? When you don’t have the power to make changes—for example\, if there is outdated language on a state-mandated form—what other options can you explore? This will be a participatory workshop. Participants are welcome and encouraged to bring examples from their organization to discuss.\nFacilitated by Prof. Kate Mason and Prof. J Sterphone.\nMary Lyon Hall – May Room \nAction Planning Through Everyday Scenarios\nLooking to jump right into action? In this session\, participants will apply theory to real-world scenarios and learn how to address and minimize harm within professional and academic spaces.\nFacilitated by Val Leon Quintero and Mairi Travis ’26.\nEmerson Faculty Dining \nRegister today! \nQuestions or accessibility concerns can be directed to pratt_mike@wheatoncollege.edu. \nInteractive Campus Map  |  Printable Campus Map (pdf) \n
