#ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM
The undersigned will be ceasing our workshop activities related to the WAVES Workshop on Wednesday, June 10th in support of #ShutDownAcademia, #ShutDownSTEM, and the Black Lives Matter movement. To this end, I will no longer be presenting the Enrichment Seminar planned for that day. The undersigned encourage WAVES Workshop mentors and participants to consider suspending their own meetings and development work.
You can read more about the #ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM #Strike4BlackLives movement here.
I’mma need eager allies to get tooled up before they charge in.

Stop. Stop. Reflect. Listen and learn first.
