DEIB Work In Practice: Panel Discussion With Yale Leaders

Over the last year, we’ve organized a series of workshops introducing the concepts and issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the U.S., and now it’s time to see how the work of DEIB is put into practice across Yale’s campus.

Join us for a virtual panel discussion with four Yale leaders from the Asian American Cultural Center, Office of LGBTQ Resources, Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning, and Student Accessibility Services. The panelists will discuss what their offices do, how they center the work of DEIB in their every day, the resources they offer, how international students & scholars are included in their work, and how you can seek support, find community, and get involved with their spaces.  

The workshop will be moderated by Vanessa Bittner (she/her), OISS' Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives Fellow. Vanessa is an international student herself and is a fifth year PhD student studying Sociology.

Panelists:

Joliana Yee (she/her/hers)
Assistant Dean, Yale College
Director, Asian American Cultural Center

Sam Byrd (any)
Director, Office of LGBTQ Resources

Shami Tarlanov (he/him/his)
Associate Director, Student Accessibility Services

Suzanne Young (she/her/hers)
