<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday, ex-officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of all three charges in the killing of Mr. George Floyd. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As
our Governor Jay Inslee wrote yesterday: "Let this be the beginning of progress rather than the end of one trial." </span><span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">And
as our executive director Jan Yoshiwara wrote this morning to our agency staff:</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium", "Avenir Next Condensed Medium", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium", "Avenir Next Condensed Medium", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I very much appreciate the statements of Governor Inslee, our college and university presidents, and countless others that have been emerging this afternoon and evening.
I am proud to be working in a college system where half the students are students of color, ten of our colleges are majority students of color, and 18 out of 38 college presidents, chancellors and CEOs are leaders of color. I continue to be encouraged by the
State Board’s bold vision statement, and that the college system is facing the difficult, essential work of advancing racial equity for our students, faculty, staff, and communities.</span></div>

<p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(32, 31, 30); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As educators, we have a critical role in eliminating systemic racism and closing racial equity gaps in our society. The majority of our students would not be in college if
we were not available to serve them. This is especially true for students of color. This is why I work in the community and technical college system, the difference we make for tens of thousands of students and their families every day and the promise of
making a bigger difference for tens of thousands more. We have a lot of work to do to achieve a just society for all.</span></p>

Equity… to advance racial, economic, and social justice.” We will share the Constellations Framework, in which we collectively explicate what these visions look like in action to us. Building on the work of this and past generation of antiracist BIPOC within
and outside the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, we have created an aspirational, iterative, multidimensional, liberatory framework that seeks to contribute to healing, reunifying, body, mind and spirit, to one another, and the land. </span></p>

them in our daily actions. Lastly, we will enjoy a gallery of collective strategies and opportunities for attendees to take with them to implement in their current roles.</span></p>

will walk away from the workshop with the skills to, broadly speaking, understand what trauma is and how it affects socio-emotional regulation from a neuroscience perspective. Most importantly, presenters will add to this understanding and focus on how in
particular, there are social, cultural and structural complexities of trauma, often forgotten, from Adverse Childhood (or community) Experiences, to racial and historical trauma. We will also express how the academy perpetuates these very forms of trauma,
leading to the realities of attrition, equity gaps and dreams deferred for many marginalized student populations. To move towards racial healing and reconciliation, understanding trauma and how it impacts marginalized students in particular, this workshop
will provide participants multiple opportunities to recognize what racial trauma looks coupled with opportunities to work towards developing concrete skills to incorporate trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices in various social settings across
the academy.</span></p>
