DEI Speaker Series: Building Community Through Culture

The City’s successful DEI Speaker Series returns in 2024 with compelling lectures programmed by the City's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee to help community members better understand the lived experience of historically marginalized community members. 

On Thursday, May 30, at 6 pm at the Wilsonville campus of Clackamas Community College (29353 SW Town Center Loop E), the series continues with “Building Community Through Culture,” presented by Renee Roman Nose. 

The Native American Student Success Coordinator for the Oregon Department of Education discusses how community is not just a neighborhood, not simply a place to go, it's something viceral. Join us as the speaker explores community building from an Indigenous perspective, challenging our own perceptions and widening our understanding of how integral we each are to our own communities and how we can help build and strengthen our communities.

DEI Speakers Series events are free, and include light refreshments. 

The City is once again partnering with Willamette Falls Studios to record DEI Speaker Series events for more community members to learn and enjoy. Several previous talks can be viewed at bit.ly/DEI_Speakers
