Supporting Your BIPOC Faculty Colleagues: Guidance for Senior Faculty, Chairs, and Deans

March 1, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. EST

Duration: 60 minutes + optional 30 minutes networking

Register in advance: https://www.facultyadvancementnetwork.org/upcoming-events

The workshop will guide us through a virtual discussion about recognizing, understanding, and supporting BIPOC faculty colleagues in managing and utilizing stress in the department and across the university. How do we address our colleagues’ stress so that more people can feel welcome and thrive in environments where there is little diversity? How might we change our own stress mindsets to better understand and support our BIPOC colleagues?

We will be led by Modupe Akinola, Associate Professor of Management and Director of the Bernstein Center for Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. Prof. Akinola’s work has appeared across journals and in the popular media, including the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Ten Percent Happier, and the TED Business Podcast, which she hosts.

You can register for the workshop now. The program is free to faculty and administrators from FAN member institutions, but it will not be recorded and space is limited. We encourage you to share this invitation with colleagues.
