Stories

Holistic Authenticity as a Means to Equity and Inclusion
We spend so much of our lives in professional spaces. To be seen as an asset to an organization, we are told to sanitize our identities, and align ourselves with the requirements of our jobs and workplaces. However, this is often at odds with organizational goals of diversity, equity and inclusion. In this talk, Dr. Waheeda Lillevik discusses changing our perspectives toward holistic authenticity, and refocusing responsibility on how we perceive individuals in our professional, as well as personal, lives.

Co-chairs

Stephanie Horner, Assistant to the Dean
As someone from an inter-racial family, who has children the are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and as a mother of a child with mental disabilities, it is extremely important to me to educate people about these underrepresented populations as well as to do my best to ensure every student, faculty member and staff member within the School of Business feels heard, welcome and that they belong.
