Please forward to those who might be interested...

Dear potential change agent,

Where do you think MIT falls on the road map to undoing racism, sexism,
homophobia, and to promoting a truly egalitarian living and learning
environment?  Are you ready to help facilitate positive changes on that
journey?

There are some ways that we can all make a difference!  All it will take from
you (or from a student group that you might represent) is one RSVP, one
Saturday training, and one 2 hour commitment per semester.

Here's the plan:

Diversity Peer 2 Peer Educator Training!
10/14 from 11am-2pm in 50-005
On Saturday, October 14th, there will be a Brunch and DP2P training where
students (grads and undergrads) will be trained  to facilitate discussions
about race, gender, sexual orientation, and their intersections at MIT and
beyond.  RSVP (required) to: afran at mit.edu

More info about DP2P:
Today's leaders need to be able to work effectively and efficiently in teams
made up of very diverse groups of people.  Skills such as respect, tolerance,
and inclusion are essential components of well-rounded leadership, group work,
and in creating and maintaining a professional environment.  This Fall
LBGT at MIT, the BSU, LCC, Women's Studies, CCRR, GSO, and other partners will
offer the Diversity Peer-to-Peer Education Program. The program organizes
Diversity Peer-to-Peer Education Forums that offer MIT students, faculty, and
staff the opportunity to engage in meaningful and productive conversations
about diversity issues, facilitated by fellow MIT students.  Topic areas
include issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, and their intersections.
Forums are open to all student organizations, lab groups, departments, living
groups, and other MIT affiliates.  Forums will be offered by request and
arranged through the LBGT Program Coordinator.  For more information, to hear
about the training, or to schedule a Forum please contact afran at mit.edu or
call (617) 253-5440.

Thanks for your interest!

Sincerely,
Abigail Francis
