Dr. Adolph Brown
Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover - DEI in Action
Date and time
Location
John and DeDe Howard Auditorium St. Joseph High School
2521 Stadium Drive St. Joseph, MI 49085About this event
Literally, one cannot tell the contents of a book by just looking at the material used to hold it together. A book with a torn and worn cover may be more important, more entertaining, or more useful than a book bound in a flashier manner. The same can be extended to relationships.
You are invited to join Dr. Brown as he explores the prejudice of making decisions solely based on outward appearance and their cost on meaningful encounters. He will guide you on a journey that will provide opportunities for self-exploration of implicit biases and provide the tools to adjust automatic patterns of thinking as well as strategies to eliminate discriminatory behaviors.
This is presented in partnership with SJPS, SJPS Foundation, and United Federal Credit Union.
