As part of an ongoing series of discussions on equity, racism and social justice, Central Oregon Community College (COCC) is hosting a virtual community forum titled Working with a Multigenerational Workforce from 3-4pm on Monday, October 24. The event is free and open to the public; attendees must register for the COCC equity forum in advance. Visit cocc.edu/departments/multicultural to learn more.
“COCC is committed to these important conversations centered on addressing systemic inequities,” said Christy Walker, director of COCC’s diversity and inclusion program. “As demographics continue to change in our workforce, it is crucial for organizations to understand and embrace diversity and inclusion.”
Speakers for this forum are three COCC staffers: Christy Walker, director of diversity and inclusion, Geneva Mayall, Native American college preparation coordinator, and Laura Boehme, Ph.D., chief information and HR officer. Topics will include employment barriers and stereotypes facing different age groups. Each six- to eight-minute presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
COCC holds forums on equity, racism and social justice once a term during the academic year. For more information, contact Christy Walker, COCC’s director of diversity and inclusion, at 541-383-7412 or cwalker2@cocc.edu.
