OCC’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice invites students, employees and community to join them for this online evening session
What is it like being a person of color working within the criminal justice system?
What are the disparate dangers Black and Brown people face in law enforcement interactions?
Join OCC online on Wednesday, Nov. 2 from 6–7:30 p.m. to increase your awareness with
informed perspectives presented by a panel of experts who work in our criminal justice
system.
The event is moderated by OCC Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice
(DEIJ) Kristina Marshall. Panelists include, Judge Shelia Johnson, 46th
District Court; Assistant Police Chief Daniel Rodriguez, Farmington Hills Police
Department; Captain Anthony Steward, Jackson County Jail Administrator; and Deputy
Police Chief Aaron Huguley, Southfield Police Department.
“At OCC, we strive to embody the values of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice
in our work each day. We aim to enhance fairness in our society and make our community
a place for all,” said Marshall. “Not only does the College seek diversity, equity
and inclusion among our faculty and staff, but we also seek a diverse and inclusive
group of students, who will go out and change the world for the better.”
