Previous CJE Events
Closing the Education Equity Gap
In September 2021, we examined racial equity in the education system, including education reform and policy development, how race plays a role in opportunities and outcomes for students, as well as the future of education equity and how we can all play a role.
Racially Speaking: The Future of Work
After discussing how to build equity in corporate America, we dug deeper into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Our panel examined how to create a "Future of Work that works for all."
A Racial Reckoning:
Navigating with Grace and Excellence
In March 2021, we held our inaugural CJE conversation. Our panel of experts in academia, business, and the Summer Search community discussed corporate America’s role in advancing racial equity, and what tools we have as individuals to achieve that equity.
Additional Resources
Supporting Voting Rights
Voting, along with free and fair elections, are staples of a true representative democracy. We at Summer Search condemn any attempt to steal away that right from the American people.
Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is at the root of everything we do. This work started with our regional site staff who, in a desire to better serve our students, identified the need to better understand how racial equity intersects with our work.
