Are you an educator of color? Come to the BIOPOC Faculty Luncheon to connect, share, and learn from others in a supportive environment.

Esteemed Womanist Ethicist Dr. Emilie Townes will be our featured speaker. She will share about self-care from the “rear view.” Come hear Dr. Townes offer wisdom on self-care that takes her entire teaching and scholarly career into perspective.
