    LaGuardia's Third Annual Anti-Racist Pedagogy Teach-in will showcase Student Success Mentors (SSMs) from the First Year Seminar community. Following from the theme and call of Opening Sessions, the SSMs will lead faculty and staff in a conversation about what has worked (and what has been a challenge) as we've tried to implement a more intentional pedagogy of kindness in our classrooms, divisions, and offices.

    Friday, May 6
    Location TBD
    10 a.m.- 12 p.m.







  • "We believe that diverse perspectives make us stronger and seek to learn from everyone’s unique experience and cultural inheritance."
