Make plans to come hear Andrea Echelberger in the livestream of “Your Brain on Accents: The Impact of Accent Bias and Discrimination in the U.S.” on Feb. 9 at 2:30 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons!
In 2004, Echelberger began a two-year AmeriCorps position in St. Paul teaching adult refugees and immigrants English, and she’s never looked back. Throughout her teaching career, she has worked with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and language levels, and while she’s loved every class that she’s taught, literacy level learners are her favorite group to teach. From her experience and research, Andrea will share on how accent bias impacts our society.

IDI Grant applications: Promote and celebrate diversity and inclusion
Candace Silas, one of the 2020-21 LLCC Innovation in Diversity and Inclusion Grant recipients says, “The IDI grant was just what the Workforce Equity Initiative needed! WEI did not have marketing or retention funds designated in our first round of funding, and we needed to do a more robust media campaign and enhance our retention efforts. With the help of the IDI grant, we were able not only to meet our grant deliverables but we exceeded them. It also gave WEI the opportunity to show our external evaluators and funding source that LLCC is committed to promoting and celebrating diversity and inclusion.”
LLCC’s IDI Grant is once again available! It is an internal opportunity for any LLCC faculty, staff, department, student or student club, and can be used to address a need and/or to promote and celebrate diversity. IDI Grant application proposals will be accepted through Jan. 31.
