GATHERING
ODI Coffee Breaks
Weekly on Tuesdays, 11:30 AM-12:30 PM, ARB Small Conference Room
Many in our community are impacted by events happening on a global scale including atrocities in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, as well as natural disasters and school shootings. Often those impacted find themselves working so hard to support their loved ones and communities they forget to pause to support themselves, to take a moment to reflect, mourn, or set aside time to be in community with each other. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) would like to invite you to pause and be in community with us as you are able. Enjoy coffee alone, or in conversation with colleagues. If you require accommodations to participate, please email diversity@uconn.edu. ODI Coffee Break Flyer Oct. 1
