Systems of Support: Promoting Equity through Activism, Allyship, and Community

The University of Texas Libraries Diversity Action Committee's 2019 Spring Event. Systems of Support focuses on systemic means of promoting equity for those who experience marginalization in academia and beyond. Two inspiring speakers talk about the systems of support that helped paved their way to success despite unjust obstacles. Student groups were on hand to discuss their experiences providing activism, allyship, and community on campus.

Learn how systems of support at the university can be utilized as scholars embark on their paths to success and how you can be involved in making the university a more supportive and inclusive environment.
