Year of the Active Bystander : LGBTQA Resource Room Community Engagement Drop-In

The Community Engagement Drop-in is a time to learn more about the newly created Office of LGBTQA Affairs at Wright State University and meet the staff (Director- Petey Peterson & Graduate Assistant- Josh Scacco). Feel free to Bring your lunch and/or a good topic or question for conversation. 

The school year at Wright State University has been designated the Year of the Active Bystander as part of stepped-up efforts to help students, faculty and staff respond productively to prejudice they encounter in their daily interactions.

The designation by Wright State’s Division of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement comes in the wake of the public and the federal government’s increasing calls for accountability in making universities free from violence, harassment and discrimination.

The Year of the Active Bystander will feature programs focusing on bias in the university workplace and classrooms, specifically implicit bias, micro-aggressions and stereotype threat.
