Be a part of the next “Language of Inclusivity” video
Would you like to be featured in the next “Language of Inclusivity” video? This video series is an initiative organized through the Campus Climate Team’s Safety and Inclusivity Workgroup and aims to create a shared language surrounding the words and phrases used to discuss inclusivity. Participants will read or recite a definition provided by the workgroup (30-60 seconds in length) for the third episode in the series. Filming typically takes 15 minutes and will be held following winter break. For reference, a previous video can be viewed online.
We are interested in sharing a wide representation from across the college. All individuals are welcome! Those interested should contact Shelby Bedford, workgroup lead, at shelby.bedford@llcc.edu.
