Anti-Racism

The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs stands in solidarity with BIPOC and detests police brutality, systemic racism, discrimination, and oppression. We strive to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for the entire Shepherd community and challenge all Shepherd students, faculty, and staff to actively stand against racism and oppression. Below are resources to remain educated, support BIPOC communities, and actively be anti-racist rather than not racist. This is a non-exhaustive list, and if you ever come across a valuable resource you would like to include, please feel free to contact one of the members of our team.
