======== ENGAGE IN OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY TOMORROW [1] ==================

Students, staff, faculty,
Please join us tomorrow as we commit to our values of diversity, antiracism, 
inclusion, and access at our 3rd annual ENGAGE! community day at Hampshire. 
Classes are cancelled and we ask departments to flex staff schedules to 
enable participation in the day-long opportunity to build and rebuild 
bridges, connect with each other, and communicate across our differences.

You are welcome to attend all or some of the workshops; same-day registration 
will be held from 8:30 a.m. to Noon at FPH.  The event program including 
workshop titles and facilitators is attached below, and an overview of the 
schedule is available for download here [2]. Event highlights include:

 * Opening ceremony at 9:00 a.m. in FPH Courtyard
 * Choice of diversity workshops from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in FPH
 * Artist and activist Mary Pottenger is in residence this week facilitating
   story circles and interviewing community members, resulting in a
   workshop/performance at ENGAGE! from 2:00-5:00 p.m. in the Main Lecture
   Hall (community members are welcome as audience and don’t have to
   perform)
