Overview

Self-Reflective practice not only benefits self, but it can also reverberate throughout one's field or profession. Students who give their time and energy to focusing on self in order to benefit others, provide the gateway to gain opportunities to push beyond the DEI rhetoric. Through research and discussion, students consider various concepts, types of reflective practice, learn and unlearn numerous aspects of history, examine our roles in dismantling racism, and act on addressing systemic racism.
