A Conversation on Safety, Justice and Students of Color
Join us for a proactive discussion designed to raise awareness and understanding about the issues people of color face, especially in their interactions with law enforcement. Students and others on campus are invited to share personal experiences, including how national events and media coverage have had an impact on their lives and community. Panelists include Department of Public Safety Interim Police Chief Aaron Delashmutt, Ames Police Commander Jason Tuttle, Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Reginald Stewart, and Student Counseling Services psychologist Raghav Suri. Monic Behnken, assistant professor of sociology, will moderate.
Additional resource people will be available to respond during the question-and-answer period, including Department of Public Safety multicultural liaison officer Dwight Hinson and community outreach officer Anthony Greiter, and interim director and psychologist Joyce Davidson and diversity coordinator and psychologist Erin Pederson from Student Counseling Services.
