Session I - Becoming a Social Justice Ally - Socialization & Identities

This interactive workshop introduces participants to broader social justice concepts that can be applied to various isms. Through discussion and activities in a safe space, participants will begin doing the deep, personal work that is needed to understand systemic inequity. Starting down the path to becoming an ally, participants will be guided in sharing personal experiences to explore social identities and how oppression affects us from a personal to a societal level. This workshop is just the beginning to creating an inclusive social justice learning community to be the change we want to see in the world.

Presenter: Shannon L. Johnson, Outreach College
Presenter: Eve Millett, Mānoa Advising Center

Session II - Generation Z: Where did we go wrong?

As the Generation Z population continues to populate college campuses across the nation, we are seeing major changes in behavior and campus culture. Anxiety, depression, and suicide rates are increasing; speakers being disinvited or shouted down; and protests becoming more violent.

In this presentation, participants will (1) Learn how safetyism and other factors (i.e. social media, political ideologies, research biases, etc.) have affected Generation Z students’ behavior and development; (2) Understand the issues that colleges are facing, with Generation Z students, through case studies; (3) Develop strategies on how they can support students without continuing the safetyism cycle.

Presenter: Jason Higa, College of Social Sciences - ACCESS

Session III - Judicial Affairs

Anchored by theoretical and philosophical approaches of adult development and education, the Office of Judicial Affairs (OJA) is committed to ensuring the rights and upholding the responsibilities of students to create a safe and welcoming campus learning environment. This presentation will offer an overview of the Student Conduct Code (SCC) and procedures for faculty and staff to have a greater understanding of the expectations of students in the UH-Mānoa community. The presentation will also include an overview of the Academic Grievance Procedures and tips for faculty and advisors who may be involved in the process in their future.

Presenter: Leslie Mitchell, Office of Judicial Affairs
