A Message from NERSC
The past few weeks have brought with them overwhelming feelings of frustration, sadness, anger, and outrage. The countless tragedies, brutalities, and overall unconscionable treatment that the black community has, and continues to endure is unacceptable and must change. The New England Resident Service Coordinators supports the ongoing movement to bring about racial equity and put an end to systemic injustices in this country.
We believe in the power of education. While training on topics such as diversity, unconscious bias, and ending racism can be found at our annual conferences, we realize that is not enough. Like everyone, we must do more. We must push for increased education on topics that support these beliefs while also providing tools and resources to our RSCs that they can bring back to their communities to empower change.
Among the first steps NERSC will take is to offer a 7-part webinar series for Resident Service Coordinators and other housing professionals to become agents of change. This unique approach to tackling racism, offered by Teja Arbolda, M.Ed from Entertaining Diversity, Inc., is a highly-interactive series that will cover the critical topics such as: diversity basics, understanding your community’s diversity needs, unconscious bias, racial equity, facilitating difficult dialogue, compassion fatigue and healing and data analytics to drive diversity, equity and inclusion.
NERSC will do everything we can to actively support and promote equality, inclusivity, and justice.
