Critical Race Theory, or CRT, has been a prevalent topic in the news lately. And, lots of attention is being paid to CRT and college campuses. But what is CRT? Why are we hearing about it so much right now?

Drake staff are invited to join a conversation with Jen Harvey, Associate Provost for Campus Equity and Inclusion, on Tuesday, Aug. 17, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Olmsted Center, Parents Hall South. Registration is not necessary.

This inclusive discussion will cover ways we can better understand different reactions to CRT, sort through our own perspectives about it, and get prepared to support students and their families in understanding what CRT does (and doesn’t?) have to do with a Drake education.
