Leader’s Roundtable: Education and Inequality (Hybrid)

Bring your lunch and join Leader Dr. Nori Rost and members for an engaging round-table discussion on the issues of the day and recommended readings.

How can we overcome such vast systemic norms that clearly value and support folks in one spectrum of humanity over another? If education is the key to eroding inequality, how can we create a truly equal educational system? Thanks to Sondra for this idea!
