Building upon its commitment to combating racism and to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, the College of the Arts has initiated a twice-monthly Safespace meeting for BIPOC students, faculty and staff. The meeting is scheduled to take place virtually on the first and third Tuesday of every month at 5 p.m. and is open to all BIPOC students, faculty and staff at Kent State University.
Hosted by College of the Arts interim assistant dean Tameka Ellington, Ph.D., with the assistance of members of the College of the Arts Dean's Student Advisory Council, the BIPOC Safespace is a place where real conversations are had. It is a place where BIPOC people can come to discuss and find reprieve from today's societal challenges.
