The programs offered during Day of Absence and Day of Presence provide significant opportunity for personal and professional development.  There is almost no end to the knowledge,  understanding, skills, and awareness required to productively engage with the complex issues of race, inclusion, diversity, privilege, allyship and their intersections.  Take a risk and take advantage of as many of the offerings provided by the 2012 DOA/DOP Planning Committee as you can!
