 Hello scholars and congratulations for completing the Rackham Professional Development DEI Certificate. It has been such an honor for me to lead this program. This year we welcome 309 new participants and 177 of you completed. These are both record numbers for us. We also welcome a new member of our team, our program specialist, Askari Russian. Askari, Adriana, Kristen, Laura, and I have been so pleased to serve you. We had another extraordinary year. We were completely virtual and we really miss seeing you in person. However, the virtual environment afforded many opportunities and your feedback and requests truly informed our programming. We hosted over 50 synchronous sessions this year, all well attended. We also provided asynchronous sessions on our canvas site in a way that maintained active engagement. While we couldn't gather, you all mobilized as a community and established multiple ways to connect virtually. You also emailed, text and called each other to check on each other and to seek ways to work together through these challenging times. Though we have our core curriculum, we remained adaptable and willing to respond to complex problems in society that were impacting you and those that you wanted to help solve. And there was no shortage of crisis situations happening in the world this year. One of the issues that really came to light was the structural and systemic racism, racial disparities and racial inequities. We saw how this impacts many areas of our life. Health outcomes, health care, policing, housing, education, we saw it so clearly. So we directly addressed racism. We had sessions on anti-Asian racism, anti-black racism, having an anti-racist toolkit, racial microaggressions, healing from identity-based trauma, dismantling white supremacy culture, and we worked on really how to be allies and advocates and how to disrupt harm when we witness it in our communities. We decided to continue these conversations on anti-racism for the entire year and dedicated our lead webinar series to explore these topics. We invited you to join us with your own commitment to racial equity and many of you opted in and received emails each month and an opportunity to reflect on your individual commitments. We covered a lot and we applaud you for your efforts and for hanging in there with us through the end. Our goal is to continually move from awareness to action. And as Maya Angelou said, do the best that you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. We know better. And there is so much work to do. And I am 100% confident that you can help do that work. I am so honored to have been a part of your journey. And though our formal work together has come to an end, your work must continue. You are uniquely equipped to impact the world in a way that only you can. Use the skills that you've learned, your passion, and the privilege that you have to help heal the world. I cannot wait to hear the things that you all will do. Congratulations again and go Blue.
