Racial Equity Leadership Alliance

Overview

California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) is a proud member of the University of Southern California (USC) Racial Equity Leadership Alliance. This 3-year alliance spearheaded by the USC Race and Equity Center, will serve as a tool for achieving our equity goals and improving racial literacy on campus. The alliance provides high-quality, monthly professional development workshops and access to a digital repository of useful tools including virtual learning communities and an online resource library.

Register for Live eConvenings

Each month, CSUDH employees will have the opportunity to participate in a live two-hour synchronous eConvening. Each eConvening will allow participants to engage with other CSU professionals and learn from 62 experts who teach in the USC Equity Institutes. The learning sessions will focus on strategies and practical approaches. Instructors will use cases that have recently occurred, teach how to get ahead of situations and reduce the risk of crisis, and teach actionable equity leadership strategies.

All eConvenings will be recorded and made available in the Equity Connect portal.
