The National Day of Racial Healing takes place annually on the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The observance grows year after year as people work to create connections and share a sense of belonging.

Taking place on Jan. 17 this year, the National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism.

Launched on Jan. 17, 2017, it is an opportunity to bring all people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.

On Friday, Jan. 13 at 4:30 p.m., the Digital Learning Environment (DLE) transition team will make changes to the Brightspace home and course home navigation and widgets. These changes are being made based on focus group discussions with faculty and students held in the Fall ‘22 semester. 

The changes include the following:
