In honor of the 9th Annual National Day of Racial Healing, Elms College's Center for Equity in Urban Education (CEUE) is hosting an event entitled, #GOODScholars: Creating Educational Spaces of Hope for Racial Healing. Dr. Tyra Good, Inaugural Executive Director of the CEUE, Dominique McDonald, Academic Coordinator in the CEUE, and Dr. Jennifer Shoaff, Chief Diversity Officer at Elms College, will lead a critical discussion on examining structured inequities within school systems and an educator's role in creating equity-centered, trauma-informed educational spaces that foster and honor the intersectional of student identities. This event will serve as the launch of the CEUE's "GOOD Educators Connect" Book discussion of, Learning to Relearn: Supporting Identity in a Culturally Affirming Classroom by Kwame Sarfo-Mensah.

The event will be held on Saturday, January 11th from 10:30 am-12 noon at Elms College in the Mary Dooley College Center, Room 101.
