We invite you to learn more about student empowerment and support through the lens of diversity, equity and inclusion at Morristown-Beard School.  We strive to build and nurture a culture that reflects the communities we serve and where everyone feels empowered to be their full, authentic selves.  Please join our Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Klarissa Karosen, for a discussion of our commitments, programs and initiatives. Registration is required for the sessions listed below. These sessions are facilitated via Zoom; links will be provided to all registered attendees one hour before start time. 

Using empirical research from psychology and neuroscience, Speaker, Author, and Amherst Professor Catherine Sanderson will examine the factors that lead most of us to stay silent in the face of bad behavior, and how the tendency to stay silent allows such acts to continue. She will describe how to overcome the very natural human tendency to remain bystanders and practical strategies for resisting such pressure in their own lives. 

The 45-minute live presentation will be followed by a Q&A. Admission is free, but registration is required. Prior to the event, a Zoom link to join the presentation will be sent to all registered attendees.
