The brainchild of the School’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force, employees take part in four hour-long discussions over the course of several weeks. CULTURAL HERITAGE CELEBRATIONS At Masters, heritage celebrations are important opportunities for everyone to learn from members of our community about our shared and individual cultural histories. These celebrations provide a teachable moment for us to recognize the complexities and richness of any cultural identity; and the importance of understanding and appreciating these stories as part of the larger American narrative. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY CELEBRATION This celebration at Masters is a communitywide opportunity to discuss, teach, and reflect on the legacy of Dr. King’s life and work. This important time is set aside to explore and examine contemporary human issues through the lens of Dr. King’s work and ideas, broadly defined. It is a tremendous day of thought, learning, and inspiration for the entire community.
