The Faculty & Staff of Color Conference provides a safe and inclusive space for systemically non-dominant employees in higher education throughout Washington State. All but the <b>White Fragility</b> pre-conference workshop in the agenda is designed for faculty
and staff of color; however, any faculty or staff who would like to support the mission of the conference at their institution is welcome to attend. Attendees of the White Fragility pre-conference workshop will receive a better understanding of how our society
leads to white fragility and provide dialogue for more constructive cross-racial interactions. We strongly encourage white attendees of the FSOCC to attend this session prior to participating in the conference. <br>
