Please join the Diversity & Inclusion Committee for an Impact Lab Taking a Look Back to go from Bystander to Ally  on Thursday, June 20th.   

Using the Holocaust as a core case study, this conversation-based experience follows the St. Louis Holocaust Museum's mission to reject hatred, promote understanding, and inspire change. 

Discussing topics such as bias, stereotyping, hate crimes and genocide, it is a space to explore how hatred presents itself in our world and the importance of going from a bystander to an active ally.

By investigating our own identities and the historical mistreatment of others, we can give ourselves the tools to create change in our community.

• Writing a Compelling Cover Letter: Students will learn how to craft cover letters that will gain the attention of potential employers. They will review examples of various cover letters to understand the structure and how to clearly and concisely demonstrate in writing that their skills are a match for a company’s needs.
• Preparing for the Interview and Follow Through: Students will learn the steps to preparing for an interview and how to place themselves in the best position to receive a job offer through post-interview follow-up.
