Please join us for Holding Space: A Community Gathering of Educators, a monthly, virtual series that invites our colleagues into community to discuss major topics important to us in University education, to share words or silent presence in our collective griefs and losses, and to celebrate our collective joys.

• We will hold one gathering per month for our BIPOC-Identified Educators on Fridays, from 11:30am-1pm. 
• We will also hold an all-inclusive session (inclusive of all Loyla Educators, BIPOC & White-Identified) once per semester, Fall semester date & time TBD.

We have found that having the option to gather in racial affinity groups has been both necessary and valuable for our BIPOC colleagues in terms of processing and working through certain immediate major events, issues, and concerns, especially those that deeply impact us on the basis of racial marginalization.

Please drop in when you are able. All Loyola educators are welcome (includes all faculty, all staff, and graduate students who teach). These sessions are private and will not be recorded. View the schedule below!
