Race Conversations Employee Resource Group
The Race Conversations ERG is a community of employees having an open, respectful exchange of views on race relations. We recognize our need to delve more fully and personally into the issues at Babson and across the country than can be done at any one event. Members suggest topics such as our own ethnic histories, a recent incident of alleged racism, or something from our own experiences. A long-range aspect of the ERG is to support members who want to identify and take action in their roles at Babson and beyond. Supported with funds from Babson Human Resources, this program is open to all employees. Regular participation is at least 10 employees from across the university.
